DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

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 looking nice and clean.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

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.

To clean interior

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.

OR

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

OR

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on dishes” in “Troubleshooting.”

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior.
