Dishwasher Care
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Cleaning the exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If the dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish Part Number 31464.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid, and using it too often could damage the dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup 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 the dishwasher or home.
Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing the dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage
by having the dishwasher winterized by authorized service
personnel.
