MAINTENANCE
To maintain performance and prevent trouble, it is important to check the outside and inside of the
dishwasher, including filters and spray arms, at regular intervals.
WARNING
• When cleaning the outside and inside of the dishwasher, do not use benzene or thinner. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or explosion.
• To prevent injury during care and maintenance or cleaning, wear gloves and/or protective clothing.
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the Exterior
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaners on
the exterior of the dishwasher.
• Most soil can be removed using a soft, damp
cloth or sponge. A mild soap can be used to help
release stubborn soil. Rinse and wipe dry with a
soft cloth after cleaning.
• Stainless steel surfaces can be polished using a
stainless steel cleaner. Follow the instructions on
the cleaner, and wipe in the direction of the
grain.
CAUTION
• If cooking oil is spilled on the exterior of the
product, wipe it off immediately. Do not clean
the exterior of the product with cleaners which
contain alcohol, thinners, bleach, benzene,
flammable liquids, or abrasives. These
substances may discolor or damage the
appliance.
Cleaning the Interior
• Clean the interior of the dishwasher periodically
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove
food and dirt particles.
• To remove white spots and odor from inside the
dishwasher, run an empty cycle, without
detergent, with one cup of white vinegar in a
dishwasher safe glass or bowl placed on the
upper rack. (Vinegar is an acid and with constant
use it could damage the appliance.)
• Using Machine Clean
- Run the Machine Clean cycle once a month or
after every 30 cycles to eliminate residual soil,
odor, white spots and other dirt inside the
appliance.

finished, clean the inside and outside of the
dishwasher according to the MAINTENANCE
instructions.
