cleaning and maintaining your

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 may cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by
sprinkling water over it and avoid water coming into contact with any of the electrical parts.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, it can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

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 running the dishwasher
periodically (using a Quick or Rinse Dry program with the Sterilization option) with an empty load after
inserting dishwasher detergent. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Quick program without loading dishes
until it flushes, then interrupt the cycle and add 200 g cup of white vinegar solution into the bottom basket
and finish the cycle. Do not use detergent.
Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
CAUTION
