General Recommendations
• The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher
drawer to see if any large food particles remain.
• Wipe the edge of the drawer to remove any food soil
splashes that occurred during loading.
When cleaning the stainless steel exterior, 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 Smart Sense TM (select models) or Heavy
Wash (select models) cycle when washing loads
containing tomato-based food soils.
Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that
contains chlorine to better fight staining.
