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 maintain your dishwasher properly. This section tells you how to clean and care for your dishwasher. Refer to “Solution chart” on pages 18-20 for special cleaning problems.

Personal Injury Hazard

Before cleaning interior or filter screen, wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down.

Failure to do so could result in bum injuries.

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.

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:

l Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge to make a paste.

OR

l Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

Cleaning the filter screen

The filter system requires periodic cleaning as needed. To clean screen:

1.Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.)

2.Remove collected particles from the screen with your fingers or paper towel.

3.Return the bottom rack to original position.
