CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior. Failure
to do so can result in burns.
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
Do not remove the tub front seal (the long
rubber seal enclosing the opening of the
dishwasher).
Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodi-
cally 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 recom-
mend filling the detergent dispenser with dish
detergent, and then running the dishwasher
empty periodically using either the Normal or
Express 60 cycle with the sanitize option. This
will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in
your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the
dishwasher empty and without detergent until
it flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an
8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower
basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle
finish.
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).
