DISHWASHER CARE Cleaning Cleaning the exterior 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. Cleaning the interior 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY. PROBLEM DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN SOLUTION NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and press START/RESUME or press START/ RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds. Be sure the door is closed and latched. Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back of the dishwasher.
PROBLEM WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE) SOLUTION Be sure the cycle has completed.

Use the correct amount of detergent. Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid.
