Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth,
and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel
exterior, it may have a coating that is resistant to fingerprints.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the
dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this
residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher
performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as
affresh
®
† Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.
Monthly use of affresh
®
† Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended
to help maintain the dishwasher.
To Use:
1. If cleaning without dishes, place one tablet in the detergent
dispenser. Do not add detergent (If significant buildup is
noticeable, a second tablet can be placed in the bottom of
the dishwasher.)
2. If cleaning with dishes, place one tablet in the bottom of the
dishwasher. Place detergent in the dispenser.
3. Run a Normal wash cycle.
Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar
rinse. However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could
damage your dishwasher.
Place (do not pour), 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a
glass or dishwasher-safe two-cup capacity container on
the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete
washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash
water.
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the
summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the
dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines
can increase water pressure and cause damage to your
dishwasher or home.
■ Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.
NOTE: Maytag recommends the use of high-quality,
premeasured detergent tablets or packs, and the use of rinse aid
for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
