Personal Injury Hazard
Before cleaning interior,
wail
at least
20 minutes after a cycle for the heating
element to cool down.
Failure to do so could result in burns.
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:
l Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
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.
