5 USER MAINTENANCE

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.

5.1 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.

5.2 Cleaning the Interior

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 fi lling 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 fl ushes. 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.
CAUTION Do not remove the tub front seal. (The long rubber seal enclosing
the opening of the dishwasher.)
Do not touch the heating element during or immediarely after use.
