Care and
Maintenance
A regular inspection and
C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e
maintenance of your machine will
help to prevent faults. This saves time
and prevents future problems.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Regularly wipe the front of the
■
appliance with a damp cloth -
water and a small amount of
liquid soap is adequate.
For black stainless steel and
■
anti-fingerprint surfaces, use a
soft, dry towel. For stubborn dirt,
use warm water diluted with a
non-abrasive, mild cleansing
soap. Never use stainless steel
polish.
For stainless steel appliances
■
(excluding black stainless and
anti-fingerprint), use a stainless
steel polish to seal and protect
the surface.
Clean the outer edges of the
■
inside door panel regularly to
remove debris that may collect
from normal loading. If spots
begin to appear on the stainless
steel, make sure the rinse aid
dispenser is full and functioning
properly.
Clean the door seal regularly with
■
a damp cloth to remove food
particles that may collect from
normal loading and cause odor. A
soiled door seal may not seal
properly.

NOTICE
Never use a steam cleaner to
■
clean your dishwasher. The
manufacturer is not liable for any
resulting damage.
Do not use sponges as they could

scratch the surfaces.
Do not use bleach-based wipes

as they could damage the surface
or printing.

anti-fingerprint surfaces.
9 WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
When cleaning your
■
dishwasher with any
cleaning agent, remove all
cookware, utensils or any
foreign material from inside.
Some cleaning agents are
highly acidic and/or caustic
alkaline, which can cause
hydrogen gas to form if
aluminum material is also
inside the dishwasher tub.
Hydrogen gas is explosive.
9 WARNING
Use caution when removing
parts for cleaning as some
debris may be sharp.
