how to clean and care for your dishwasher. Refer to “Common Dishwashing Problems”
on pages 18-20 for special cleaning problems.
Burn Hazard
Before cleaning interior or filter
screen, wait at least 20 minutes after
a cycle for the heating element to
cool down.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
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:
l Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
OR
l Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent
and clean with damp sponge.
Wear rubber gloves.
Do not
use any type
of cleanser other than dishwasher deter-
gent because it may cause foaming or
sudsing.
