colorant.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with
dishwasher detergent, wearing rubber gloves.
Never use any cleaner other than dishwasher
detergent, as there is risk of foaming or suds.
After adding dishwasher salt, always run the quick wash
program
without any dishware in the dishwasher and
without selecting the Turbo function (if present).
Check the lip. Ensure the fix is secure.
