Dishwasher Care
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior,
a stainless steel cleaner, such as affresh
®†
Stainless Steel Cleaner
is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
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 your 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.

If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn’t draining
well.
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.
