Dishwasher Exterior

The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft

damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use an),

abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Any odor inside the dishwasher is likely related to a chemical (chlorine) odor from the detergent or a fi_od odor from soiled items sitting in the dishwasher. Try using a difi'erent detergent, especially a lemon- scent-

ed nne, or purchase a fresh package and see if the odor decreases.

It is recommended that the Rinse & Hold fbatore be

used if dishes are to be held for a couple of da}s before washJrlg. This will remoxe most fbod soils that may develop an odor.

For a strong oclo_; try one of the foIlo_xqng:

1.Place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light/China and let the water circulate for about 10 minutes. Stop the dishwasher by unlatch- ing the door and let stand overnight, lqestart the

dishwasher by latching the door and let it complete the evcle.

2.Select the Light/China cycle and let the dishwasher fill with water. Open the door and pour 1/4 cup of chlorine bleach into the bottom of the dishwasher.
