Caring For Dishwasher
The interior is normally self-cleaning.
Occasionally check the bottom of the dishwasher
tub and clean out pieces of food which may
collect there.
Periodically clean the bottom edge of the
dishwasher door liner. Food and liquids drip
onto this area when the dishwasher is loaded.
If you notice an odor in your dishwasher, it may
be due to a strong "chemical" or chlorine odor
from the dishwasher detergent. Using a different
detergent, especially a lemon scented one, will
probably eliminate the odor. In some instances
the smell of the rinse additive may be strong.
Purchase a fresh package and see if it is better..
Lastly, if the dishwasher is run orily every couple
of days, an odor may develop. Use the Rinse &
Hold feature daily to remove any food soil that
may cause an odor.
To remove an odor, try one of the following:
1. Place baking soda in both sides of the
detergent dispenser. Select tight/China and
let the water circulate for about 10 mmutes.
Stop the dishwasher by urilatchingthedoor
and let stand overnight Then, restart the
dishwasher by latching the door and let it
complete the cycle.
2. Select the tight/China cycle and let the
dishwasher fill with watei Then open the
door and pour one cup of chlorine bleach into
the bottom o(the dishwasher. Latch the door
and let the dishwasher complete the cycle.
Clean the control panel and front panel with a
soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not.
use any abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
