Maintenance
Your new Jenn-Air 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.

Dishwasher Cleaning

Interior 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 drain the dishwasher. Models with a control knob can be drained by starting any cycle, as these cycles start with drain. Listen for the drain to complete, then open the door to interrupt the cycle prior to the fill and turn the knob back to OFF. Touch pad models can be drained by pressing the Drain/OFF pad one time. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the door.

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 soiled with tomato sauce: Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however. Select the Pots & Pans cycle (if availabIe, be sure the IntelliClean'" option is OFF). Do not use the water heating options for these Ioads, if the incoming water temperature is already 120-140° F. 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 deveIop an odor. For a strong odor, try placing baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select China/Crystal or Light/China 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. Another option is to use a commercial dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner* according to package directions.
