^WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Before cleaning interior, wait at least
20 minutes after a cycle for the heating
element to cool down.

Failure to do so could result in burns.

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 dish
washer 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 it may cause foaming or sudsing.
