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 filter assembly into the circular opening
in the lower filter.
To replace upper filter assembly
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, such as affresh
is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time, this
residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher
performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as
affresh
Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.
®
Monthly use of affresh
Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended
®
to help maintain the dishwasher.
To Use:
1. If cleaning without dishes, place one tablet in the detergent
dispenser. Do not add detergent. (If significant buildup is
noticeable, a second tablet can be placed in the bottom
of the dishwasher.)
2. If cleaning with dishes, place one tablet in the bottom of the
dishwasher. Place detergent in the dispenser.
3. Run a Normal wash cycle.
Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rinse.
However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage
your dishwasher.
Place (do not pour) 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.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high-quality,
premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use
of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.
Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the
filter 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 filter is locked.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate
your dishwasher without the filters 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.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation
or Extended Time Without Use
When you will not be using the dishwasher during the
■
summer months, turn off the water and power supply to
the dishwasher.
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.
■
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
■
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
