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).
