Cleaning the Interior
• The dishwashing compartment of your Dacor
dishwasher is constructed of high quality
stainless steel. It remains clean during normal
use. However, if you have hard water,
a white or
gray film
may form inside over time. To remove
these hard water deposits, run a normal wash
cycle with two tablespoons of citric acid or
dishwasher cleaner in the dishwasher detergent
compartment (with no dishes loaded).
• The control panel and the racks may be wiped
clean, if necessary, with a soft damp rag.
• Food particles on the silverware basket can be
rinsed clean under a faucet with warm water.
Strainer Basket and Filter System
caution
Do not operate the dishwasher without the
strainer, the drain outlet cover and the filter
system completely in place. The strainer, the
drain outlet cover and filter system are designed
to keep large food particles out of the mechanical
parts.

Care and Cleaning
warning
Clean only those parts of the dishwasher listed
in this manual. Clean them only in the manner
instructed. Use only the cleaning solutions
specified. Other cleaning solutions may produce
dangerous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal
parts and could permanently damage the
finishes.
Cleaning the Door
warning
• Exercise caution when cleaning around the
main power switch, the control panel and door
latch areas. Do not spray water or cleaners of
any kind around these areas. Doing so may
create an electric shock hazard and damage
the electrical parts.
• Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the
grain.
1. Make sure the main power switch is off to avoid
activating any touch keys unintentionally.
2. Wipe the touch keys and display clean with a
dry or slightly damp cloth. To prevent scratches,
never use cleaners. Keep the display and keys
clean and free from grease.
3. To clean the rest of the door, use only a soft
cloth dampened slightly with a solution of mild
detergent and warm water. Do not use a spray
bottle especially around the main power switch,
the door latch and the control panel.
4. To prevent odors caused by food build up, gently
clean around the door seal and corners at the
front edge of the dishwashing compartment. Use
a dish brush and a low-lather detergent.
