Care and Cleaning General Recommendations • The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning. Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles remain. • Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading. • When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the grain. Never use products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid. • The color from some tomato-based food soils may occasionally adhere to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration. To minimize this: • Remove excess tomato-based food soils from dishes before loading. • Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing loads containing tomato-based food soils. • Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
