Caring For Your Dishwasher; Cleaning Your Dishwasher - Kenmore 17761 Use & Care Manual

Caring for Your Dishwasher
Refer to the "Troubleshooting Guide" section for special cleaning problems.
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 looking nice and
clean.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up
on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door
area.
To clean interior:
• Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp
sponge to make a paste.
OR
• Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean
with damp sponge.
\
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser
other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause
foaming or sudsing.
