Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous illustrations,
place the Lower Filter under the
Locating Tabs in the bottom of
the dishwasher so the round
opening for the Upper Filter
Assembly lines up with the
round opening in the bottom of
the tub.
2. Insert the upper lter Assembly
into the circular opening in the
lower lter.
3. Slowly rotate the lter clockwise until it drops into place.
Continue to rotate until the lter is locked into place. If the lter
is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the lter
clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to align
with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the lter is locked.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate
your dishwasher without the lters properly installed. Be sure the
Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is
locked into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not
locked into place.
Dishwasher Care
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended, such as affresh
®
Stainless
Steel Cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher
detergent on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and lm. Vinegar is
an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Dishwasher maintenance procedure
Removal of Hard Water/Filming
Recommended use of a monthly maintenance product such as
affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner.
Q Place affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner tablet in main wash
compartment of detergent dispenser.
Q Select a normal cycle and start the dishwasher.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of premeasured detergent
tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for regular daily use.
Drain air gap
f you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn’t draining
well.
To reduce risk of property damage during vacation or
extended time without use
Q When you will not be using the dishwasher during the
summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the
dishwasher.
Q Make sure the water supply lines are protected against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines
can increase water pressure and cause damage to your
dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
Q When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
