Care andCleaning
General Recommendations
• The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub
to see if any large particles remain.
• Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any
food soil splashes which occurred during loading.
• When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the
grain. Never use products containing chlorine bleach
or citric acid.
• The color from some tomato-based food soils may
occasionally adhere to various components of the
dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.
To minimize this:
• Remove excess tomato-based food soils from dishes,
before loading.
• Run the Heavy cycle when washing loads containing
tomato-based food soils.
• Use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to
better fight staining.

press the START/CANCEL pad once to activate the
dishwasher. Press START/CANCEL again to activate
the drain. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the
water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply
and prop open the door.
When turning the water supply to the home off, the
water shut off at the dishwasher must be turned off also.
