Caring for Your Dishwasher
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all
that is necessary to keep the outside of your
dishwasher nice looking and clean.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film
to build up on the inside surfaces, especially
just beneath the door area.
To clean interior:
• Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
OR
• Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent
and clean with damp sponge.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it
has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of
cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it can cause foaming or sudsing.
NOTE: See “Removing spots and film” in
the “Solving Common Dishwashing Prob-
lems” section to clean your dishwasher with
white vinegar. Remember, this procedure is
intended for occasional use only. Vinegar
is an acid. Excessive use can damage your
dishwasher.
Overfill protector
The overfill protector (in the front right
corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the
dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in
place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may
keep the protector from moving up or down.
