Maintaining

the

Dishwasher

...............................

Your new Maytag Jetclean ®dishwasher requires little maintenance attention. However, if you are going on vacation, leaving a summer home or storing the dishwasher for an extended period of time, you may want to review the following information.

For a strong odor, try one of the following: 1. Place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light and let the water circulate for about 10 minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatching the door and let stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching the door and let it complete the cycle. 2. Use a commercial dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner* according to package directions. Storage/Moving Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher detergent or baking soda and select a Normal cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the water supply off and set the dishwasher to drain. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the door.

Dishwasher Interior
Cleaning The inside design is normally self-cleaning. However, you may want to periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles have not gone through the strainer portion of the module. You may also want to wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading. The color from some tomato-based food soils has been known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs, causing discoloration. To help prevent this, when washing a load of dishes heavily soiled with tomato sauce: Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior to loading. Select the Pots & Pans cycle with the IntelliClean 'M option OFF to wash this load.

Dishwasher Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use any abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Odors Any odor inside the dishwasher is likely related to a chemical (chlorine) odor from the detergent or a food odor from soiled items sitting in the dishwasher. Try using a different detergent, especially a lemon-scented one, or purchase a fresh package and see if the odor decreases. It is recommended that the Rinse & Hold feature be used if dishes are to be held for a couple of days before washing. This will remove most food soils that may develop an odor.
