CARING FOR

DISHWASHER

Cleaning Your Dishwasher

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 can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

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.

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.

KUDI25CH, KUDM25SH specifications

The KitchenAid KUDM25SH and KUDI25CH dishwashers showcase the brand's commitment to innovative design and advanced technologies, making them standout appliances in any modern kitchen. Both models combine a sleek aesthetic with powerful performance features tailored to meet diverse household needs.

One of the key features of the KitchenAid KUDM25SH is its ProWash Cycle. This intelligent cycle automatically determines the appropriate wash cycle based on the soil level and load size, ensuring optimal cleaning performance every time. Similarly, the KUDI25CH offers a comparable system that adjusts the wash cycle based on sensor feedback, which enhances water and energy efficiency.

Another significant characteristic is the Quiet Wash system. Both models operate at a remarkably low noise level, making them an excellent choice for open-concept living spaces or homes where peace and quiet are cherished. The strategically designed wash arms and insulated tanks minimize sound without compromising cleaning effectiveness.

For flexibility in loading, both dishwashers feature an adjustable upper rack, allowing for easy accommodation of taller items, such as stemware or large baking dishes. The KUDM25SH incorporates the Soft Grip stemware holders, while the KUDI25CH includes a dedicated third rack for utensils or small kitchen tools, maximizing the available loading space.

In terms of cleaning technology, both models come equipped with a powerful filtering system that traps food particles to ensure they do not redeposit on clean dishes. The high-efficiency wash system uses a combination of high-pressure spray jets and heated water to dissolve tough stains, resulting in sparkling clean dishes.

Innovatively designed interiors enhance usability and convenience in both dishwashers. They boast stainless steel interiors, which resist odors and stains, while the smooth surface makes for easier cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the models feature a sleek control panel that is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing users to select from multiple wash cycles and options effortlessly.

Energy efficiency is a priority for KitchenAid, and both the KUDM25SH and KUDI25CH have earned Energy Star certification, meaning they consume less water and energy than standard models, contributing to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint.

In summary, the KitchenAid KUDM25SH and KUDI25CH dishwashers are characterized by their innovative features, advanced cleaning technologies, and user-friendly design. With options that cater to different household needs and preferences, they represent a perfect blend of style and functionality, making them ideal choices for modern kitchens.
