Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its
performance, reduces unnecessary repairs,
and lengthens its life.
Cleaning the Exterior
It's best to clean spills on the outside of your
dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp
cloth on the control panel to gently wipe
away spills and dust. DO NOT use benzene,
wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol.
These materials may discolor the inner
walls and cause stains. DO NOT clean the
dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and
avoid letting water come into contact with
any of the electrical parts.
NOTE
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel
door panel, you can clean it with a stain-
less steel cleaner for Home Appliances or
a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Interior
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Allow heating element to cool before
cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can
result in burns.
Clean the interior of your dishwasher
periodically to remove any dirt or food
particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher
and the inner part of the door with a
wet dishcloth. We recommend filling the
detergent dispenser with dish detergent,
and then running the dishwasher empty
periodically using either the Normal or
Express 60 cycle with the SANITIZE option.
This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in
your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with
the dishwasher empty and without detergent
until it flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and
put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the
lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let
the cycle finish.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the tub front seal (the
long rubber seal enclosing the opening
of the dishwasher).
1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise
to unfasten and then detach the filter
insert.
