Self Help; Care And Maintenance - Bosch SHE68R55UC Use And Care Manual

Clean the exterior door panel
Colored doors: use only a soft cloth dampened with soapy water.
Stainless steel doors: use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a
liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results, apply the
stainless steel cleaner to the cloth and then wipe the surface.
Clean the door gasket
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and
other debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bot-
tom of the door.
Winterizing your unit
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing tempera-
tures (holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized profes-
sional service. Turn your household water supply to the dishwasher off when on extended vacation or when
dishwasher will not be used for more than 1 month.
