12 Care and Cleaning

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

Cleaning the interior

WARNING
Allow heating element to cool before
cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can
result in burns.
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
filling the detergent dispenser with
dish detergent, and then running the
dishwasher empty periodically using
either the NORMAL or FAST cycle with
the SANITIZE option. This will keep your
dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in
your dishwasher after initial cleaning:
1. Run the NORMAL cycle with the
dishwasher empty and without
detergent until it flushes.
2. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an
8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the
lower basket.
3. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle
finish.
BURN HAZARD
WARNING
Do not remove the tub front seal (the
long rubber seal enclosing the opening
of the dishwasher).

Cleaning the filter

To clean the filters:
1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the filter insert
counterclockwise to unfasten and
then detach the filter insert.
3. Remove the fine filter (flat,
rectangular).
