Occasionally wipe the outside panel with a mild nonabrasive cleaner and water. Rinse and dry. Inside of tub is self cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket with a damp cloth.

Cleaning Stainless Steel
DO USE: � Warm soapy water for routine cleaning. � Dry with soft, clean cloth. � For heavy soil, ONLY a stainless steel cleaner designed for kitchen appliance use.
Stainless steel appliances have been factory finished for high shine and luster. To maintain this quality appearance: DO NOT USE: � Abrasive powders or liquids � Citrus based cleaners � Ammonia � Steel wool pads � Abrasive cloths � Oven cleansers � Acidic or vinegar based cleaners
Citric Acid
To prevent damage to the finish of your stainless steel appliance, do not allow mustard, tomato juice, marinara sauce, or other citrus based sauces or products to remain on stainless steel surface. Citric acid permanently discolors stainless steel.
Damage to stainless steel finish due to improper use of cleaning products, or using non-recommended cleaning products, is not covered under warranty. For stainless steel cleaner, call our Consumer Affairs division at (800) 843-0304 and request part number 31960801.
Glass Trap
A glass trap is located in the bottom of the dishwasher next to the filter. This trap is designed to collect pieces of small bone, pits, or larger pieces of food. It will need to be emptied. To remove items from the glass trap, grasp the handle and lift the glass trap out. Empty and clean, and then replace the glass trap before the next use.
Overfill Protector
The overfill protector keeps the dishwasher from overfilling during a wash or rinse cycle. It is located in the lower left front corner of the dishwasher bottom. The overfill protector should move up and down freely about one inch. � � Clean the protector occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup. To ensure easy movement, clean underneath the protector.
