Expert Maintenance Tips
- Scrape, Don't Rinse: Modern detergents need food particles to latch onto. Simply scrape off large scraps.
- Clean the Filter Regularly: Do this weekly to prevent foul odors and poor cleaning.
- Right Detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent, never dish soap.
- Hot Water Start: Run your kitchen faucet until hot before starting the dishwasher.
- Check Spray Arms: Periodically check for blocked holes and clear them gently with a toothpick.
- Door Gaskets: Wipe down rubber seals with a damp cloth to prevent mold and leaks.
- Monthly Deep Clean: Run an empty cycle with white vinegar or a descaler.
