Care And Cleaning; Storing Your Dishwasher - Magic Chef DU20J Manual

CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the control panel with a lightly dampened
cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasives or sharp
objects on the panel. They can damage it,
To care for a wood top on a convertible dishwasher,
first wipe the top with a damp cloth to remove surface
dust, then dry. Next, saturate a cloth with mineral oil
and apply a heavy coat to the wood top. Let it stand
overnight. The next day apply a thin coat of mineral
oil and rub with a soft dry cloth. Repeat these steps
every few months to maintain the appearance of the
wood top.
The inside normally takes care of itself. Occasionally
check the tub bottom for any large pieces which may
have collected. Periodically clean the bottom edge of
the door liner if any spills or food soils are noticed
after a cycle.
To remove any odor, try one of the following:
1. Put baking soda in both cups. Select the Normal
cycle and let the water circulate for about 10
minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatching the
door. Let it sit overnight. Then restart the
dishwasher by latching the door and letting it
complete the cycle.
2. Select the Normal cycle and let the dishwasher fitl
with water. Then open the door and pour 1/4cup of
chlorine bleach into the bottom of the dishwasher.
Latch the door and let it complete the cycle.
3. Try using a lemon scent detergent and/or rinse aid
to help periodically freshen a dishwasher interior.
It is also recommended that you switch detergents
if you notice a strong chemical or chlorine odor
from your present detergent.
4. Run the dishwasher more frequently. Use the Rinse
& Hold cycle (if available) to remove any food soil
that may cause an odor.
STORING YOUR
DISHWASHER
If your dishwasher will be in storage or an unheated
area exposed to freezing temperatures, please follow
these recommendations:
• Clean the dishwasher inside and out as explained in
the Care and Cleaning section. (Also clean the door
gasket).
• Operate the drain portion twice to ensure most of
the water will be removed. Most dishwashers begin
each cycle with a drain for touch control models,
press the Drain/Off pad. (See page 1.)
° Disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the
door.

dishwasher's front panels to match or blend with your
