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 door panel and other outer surfaces 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 the Self Clean option. To keep the cutlery pad clean, turn it over. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Self Clean option 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.

Upper nozzle

1. Pull the upper rack towards the front

2. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.

3. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.

4. To remove the nozzle, unfasten and remove the nut, and then remove the nozzle.

5. Clean the nozzle, re-insert it, and fasten the nut.

6. When fastening the nut, turn it fi rmly by hand.

7.Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.
