Cleaning 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 nice looking and clean Q.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up on
the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
To clean interior:
1. Remove the bottom rack from your dishwasher.
2. Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp
sponge to make a paste.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean
with damp sponge Q.
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.
