Personal Injury Hazard

Before cleaning interior, wail at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down.

Failure to do so could result in burns.

Cleaning the exterior

In most ceses, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dish- washer nice looking and clean.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals may cause a white film to buiM 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.
