any large particles have not gone through the strainer por-

Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil
qslashes which occurred during loading.
The color from some tomato-based food soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs,
causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:
* Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior
to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.
* Run the Heavy Wash cycle.
Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Noving

detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle,
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, pt_ss the
Drain/Off pad once. Operate the drain twice to ensure most
of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply
and prop open the door. (See Important Safety Instructions,
