Care & Cleaning
Interior
The dishwasher interior
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if
any large particles have not gone through the strainer
portion of the module.
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 temporary 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.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle.
Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Moving
Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle.
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any
cycle as all cycles begin with a drain. Listen for the drain to
