Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth  
and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel  
exterior, it may have a coating that is resistant to fingerprints.  
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the  
dishwasher.

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on  
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this  
residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher  
performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as  
affresh®Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.  
Monthly use of affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to  
help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.

*Manufacturer’s recommendation: This practice will conserve the  
water and energy that you would have used to prepare your  
dishes. This will also save you time and effort.  
Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rinse.  
However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage  
your dishwasher.  
Very Hard Water  
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least  
once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher  
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see  
the online “Troubleshooting” section.  
Place (do not pour) 2 cups (500 mL) of 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.  
NOTE: Online references can be found in the Quick Start Guide.  
NOTE: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured  
detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher  
cleaning and daily care.  
Filter Removal Instructions

Cleaning Instructions  
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they  
may damage the filters.  
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During  
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use  
If the dishwasher will not be used during the summer months,  
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.  
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against  
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can  
increase water pressure and cause damage to your  
dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by  
the warranty.  
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If  
you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard  
water, a soft brush may be required.  
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water  
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized  
service personnel.
