General Recommendations
The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub
to see if any large particles remain.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any
food soil splashes which occurred during loading.
When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the
grain.
Never use products containing chlorine bleach
or citric acid.
• The color from some tomato-based food soils may
occasionally adhere to various components of the
dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.
To minimize this:
Remove excess tomato-based food soils from
dishes, before loading.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing loads
containing tomato-based food soils.
• Use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine
to better fight staining.
