Cleaning the exterior

In most ceses, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dish- washer nice looking and clean.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals may cause a white film to buiM up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. To clean interior:

OR

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

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
