Dishwasher

Personal injury Hazard

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

Failure to do so could result in burns.

Caring for simulated wood top

(on portable models)

The simulated wood top can be used as a utility work surface for most kitchen jobs. It is stronger and more easily cleaned than gen- uine wood. The top can be used as a cutting board. Knife marks will be visible, but will not seriously damage top. Rot items from the oven can be placed on the top. Clean top with warm, soapy water. For dried-on foods, use a scouring pad.

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a miM 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 can cause foaming or sudsing.

NOTE: Follow the “Removing spots and film” procedure on page 23 to clean your dishwasher with white vinegar. Remember, this procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid. Excessive use can damage your dishwasher.
