CARING FOR YOUR
DISHWASHER
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the
outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on
the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other
than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming
or sudsing.
To clean interior
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a
damp sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with
a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on
dishes" in "Troubleshooting."
NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning
the interior.
