cleaning and maintaining your
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.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

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 f illing 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 f lushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into
the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle f inish.
Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
CAUTION
Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the f ilter insert counterclockwise to detach.
3. Remove the flat filter.
