^WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Before cleaning interior or filter screen,
wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle

for the heating element to cool down.

Failure to do so can result in bum
injuries.

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.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of
cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because K may cause foaming or sudsing.
