Caring For Your Dishwasher - Whirlpool DP920QWDB3 Use And Care Manual

Caring for Your Dishwasher
Your new dishwasher is designed to give
you many years of dependable service.
There are a few things you can do to main-
tain your dishwasher properly. This section
tells you how to clean and care for your
dishwasher. Refer to "Solution chart" on
pages 22-24 for special cleaning
problems. See Installation Instructions for
information on storing your dishwasher and
for cleaning the drain air gap.
Personal Injury Hazard
Before cleaning interior, wait at least
20 minutes after a cycle for the heating
element to cool down.
Failure to do so could result in burns.
Caring for simulated wood top
(on portable models)
The simulated wood top can be used as a
utility work surface for most kitchen jobs. It
is stronger and more easily cleaned than
genuine wood.
The top can be used as a cutting board.
Knife marks will be visible, but will not
seriously damage top. Hot items from the
oven can be placed on the top.
Clean top with warm, soapy water. For
dried-on foods, use a scouring pad.
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all
that is necessary to keep the outside of your
dishwasher nice looking and clean.
