The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher
tub to see if any large particles have not gone
through the strainer portion of the module.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to
remove any food soil splashes which occurred
during loading.
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 off of
dishes,prior to loading.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing
loads containing tomato-based food soils.
• Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to
use a dishwasher detergent that contains
chlorine to better fight staining.
Most tableware, cookware and flatware can safely be washed in your dishwasher. Check with the manufacturer.
