Cleaning the Door
warning
•Exercise caution when cleaning around the main power switch, the control panel and door switch areas (see page 3 for locations). Do not use spray cleaners of any kind around these areas. Doing so may create an electric shock hazard and damage the electrical parts.
•Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.

Cleaning the Interior
•The dish washing compartment of your Dacor dishwasher is constructed of high quality stainless steel. It remains clean during normal use. However, if you have hard water, deposits may form in the machine. To remove hard water deposits, run a normal wash cycle with two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher detergent compartment.
•The control panel and the racks may be wiped clean, if necessary, with a soft damp rag.
•Food particles on the silverware basket can be rinsed clean under a faucet with warm water.
Strainer Basket and Filter System
warning
Do not operate the dishwasher without the strainer, the drain outlet cover and the filter system completely in place. The strainer, the drain outlet cover and filter system are designed to keep large food particles out of the mechanical parts.
The strainer basket portion of the filter system should be cleaned whenever food particles begin to build up. Food that builds up in the other parts of the filter system is rinsed away during each wash cycle so that the entire filter system only needs to be cleaned twice a year.
