DISHWASHER CARE

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 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).
