DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
In mostcases, regular useof a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent
is all that is necessaryto 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 create suds.
