DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning 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 looking nice and clean.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the 
inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
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 may cause foaming or sudsing.
To clean interior
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp 
sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a 
damp sponge.

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on 
dishes” in “Troubleshooting.”

cleaning the interior.
