Cleaning the Interior
The dish washing compartment of your Dacor •
dishwasher is constructed of high quality
stainless steel. It remains clean during normal
use. However, if you have hard water, deposits
may form in the machine. To remove hard
water deposits, run a normal wash cycle with
two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher
detergent compartment.
The control panel and the racks may be wiped
•
clean, if necessary, with a soft damp rag.
Food particles on the silverware basket can be
•
rinsed clean under a faucet with warm water.
Strainer Basket and Filter System
warning
Do not operate the dishwasher without the
strainer, the drain outlet cover and the filter
system completely in place. The strainer, the
drain outlet cover and filter system are designed
to keep large food particles out of the mechanical
parts.
The strainer basket portion of the filter system should
be cleaned whenever food particles begin to build
up. Food that builds up in the other parts of the filter
system is rinsed away during each wash cycle so that
the entire filter system only needs to be cleaned twice
a year.
Care and Cleaning
warning
Clean only those parts of the dishwasher
listed in this manual. Clean them only in the
manner instructed. Use only the cleaning
solutions specified in this manual to clean the
dishwasher. Other cleaning solutions could
produce dangerous fumes, cause corrosion of
the metal parts and could permanently damage
the finishes.

warning

main power switch, the control panel and door
switch areas (see page 3 for locations). Do
not use spray cleaners of any kind around
these areas. Doing so may create an electric
shock hazard and damage the electrical parts.
