Use only the special dishwasher detergent
to avoid suds. If this occurs, open the
dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add
1 gallon of cold water to the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then select
any cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will
drain out the water. Open the door after
draining stage is complete and check if
the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.

Always wipe up rinse-aid spills
immediately.

To clean the interior, use a damp sponge
with dishwasher detergent and wear
rubber gloves. Never use any other
cleaner than dishwasher detergent
otherwise, it may cause foaming or suds.
