mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior
of the dishwasher.

dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue
can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance.

Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher.
Follow package directions.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high-quality premeasured
detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher
