cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend fi lling the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal or Quick cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it fl ushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle fi nish.

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

CAUTION

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

Samsung has established itself as a leader in home appliance technology, and the DW80F600UTB, DW80F600UTW, and DW80F600UTS dishwashers exemplify the brand's commitment to quality, efficiency, and innovative design. Each model in this lineup shares core features but also brings unique characteristics that cater to diverse consumer needs.

One of the standout features across all three models is Samsung's StormWash technology. This revolutionary cleaning system utilizes a rotating spray arm with powerful jets to ensure that even the toughest food remnants are removed. This means less pre-rinsing and superior cleaning performance, allowing users to save time and water.

Another significant characteristic is the capacity these dishwashers offer. With a spacious interior, they can accommodate up to 15 place settings, making them ideal for families or those who frequently host gatherings. The adjustable rack system provides flexibility in loading, enabling users to fit larger pots and pans alongside standard dishes without hassle.

Samsung understands that noise levels are a key concern in kitchen appliances. Hence, all three models are designed to operate at an impressively quiet sound level, around 48 dBA, which is comparable to a library's ambiance. This feature is especially desirable for open-concept living spaces, where minimizing noise can enhance the overall home experience.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the DW80F600 series. These dishwashers are Energy Star certified, meaning they meet rigorous energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This translates to reduced electricity bills and a smaller environmental footprint, allowing consumers to do their part for sustainability.

In terms of user convenience, the DW80F600UTB, DW80F600UTW, and DW80F600UTS all feature a sleek, modern design with intuitive controls. The digital touch panel provides easy access to various cycles and options, including a delay start function, which allows users to set the dishwasher to run at a later time.

Moreover, the models include a high-temperature wash option for sanitization, ensuring that kitchenware is not only clean but also hygienic. The stainless steel interior resists odors and is less prone to staining, contributing to the longevity of the appliance.

In summary, the Samsung DW80F600UTB, DW80F600UTW, and DW80F600UTS dishwashers are an excellent choice for any modern kitchen due to their combination of advanced cleaning technologies, energy efficiency, spacious design, and user-friendly features. Whether you’re a busy family, a culinary enthusiast, or someone who values efficiency, these models cater to a wide range of needs while ensuring exceptional performance and reliability.
