Dishwasher Care
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that
is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your
dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended, such
as affresh ®† Stainless Steel Cleaner.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially
just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear rubber
gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may
cause foaming or sudsing.
Removal of Hard Water/Filming:
We recommended to use a monthly maintenance product such as affresh
Cleaner.
Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming/ hard water).
Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
Select the cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start the dishwasher.
To Manually Clean Interior:
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Cloudy or spotted dishware (and hard water
solution)" in the "Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.
If you would like to clean hard water filming or other soil buildups from the interior
surfaces of the dishwasher, we recommend using a monthly maintenance product such
as affresh ® Dishwasher Cleaner. If you desire routine cleaning, use a soft damp cloth.
