QUICK CARE

A little love goes a long way
Your Dishwasher has a glass trap filter to catch excess food particles.
Clean the trap monthly to keep your dishwasher working as expected. See Emptying the glass trap below.
Be gentle
Use Frigidaire ReadyClean®
Stainless Steel cleaner (Item # 5304508691), available on Frigidaire.com, and wipe with the grain to keep the exterior clean and shiny. Use Frigidaire ReadyClean® Dishwasher Cleaner Tablets (Item # 10FFPRDT01) to clean and freshen the interior of the dishwasher. Place one tablet in the bottom of the empty dishwasher tub (not the dispenser), run a rinse/spin cycle, leave washer door closed for at least 6 hours, then resume normal use. One tablet used monthly is recommended for best results.

Emptying the glass trap.

Press down on the center of the wash arm and rotate the glass trap handle clockwise (from the 6 to the 9 o’clock position) to disengage.
Lift the spray arm and glass trap out of the dishwasher.
Empty the glass trap.
Place the assembly back into position, press down on the arm at the center and rotate the glass trap handle counterclockwise (from the 9 to the 6 o’clock position) to lock into place.
Avoid damage and verify that the glass trap and wash arm are snapped in place. See the Use & Care Manual for more information.
