DISHWASHER CARE

4
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.
To clean the wooden cutting board
Wash in warm, soapy water and dry completely. Oil frequently
with mineral or linseed oil, following the instructions on the
container.
NOTES:
Never put wood into the dishwasher or microwave.
Never soak.
Avoid extremes in temperatures — do not plunge into very
hot water or store in the refrigerator.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the
inside surfaces, especially just beneath the lid area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may
want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser
other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming
or sudsing.
To clean interior
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp
sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a
damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on
dishes" in "Troubleshooting."
NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the
interior.
