CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Cleaning the exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your 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 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.
Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure
To help avoid odor or odor-causing residue in your dishwasher, use
affresh ® dishwasher and disposer cleaner (recommended) once a
month as part of routine maintenance. Affresh
disposer cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands.
IMPORTANT:
Read these instructions and the instructions found on the
affresh ® product package completely before beginning the
cleaning process.
