DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

In most cases, regular use of a soft, dry towel is all that is necessary to keep
the outside of the dishwasher looking nice and clean. If the dishwasher has a
stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces,
especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear
rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
To clean interior:
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and
clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Cloudy or spotted dishware" in
"Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the
interior.
