Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the
outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your
dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel
cleaner is recommended.
Cleaning the interior
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.
