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 stainless 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
FAST cycle with the SANITIZE option.
This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present
in your dishwasher after initial cleaning:
1. Run the NORMAL cycle with the
dishwasher empty and without
detergent until it flushes.
2. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an
8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the
lower basket.

3. 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).
Cleaning the filter
To clean the filters:
1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the filter insert
counterclockwise to unfasten and
then detach the filter insert.
3. Remove the fine filter (flat,
rectangular).
