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 nice looking and clean I_1.

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:

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

OR

•Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge I'11.

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.
