Dishwasher-Cleaning
The interior is self-cleaning. If a stain does
occur, clean with dishwasher detergent and water, wearing
rubber gloves to protect hands from very alkaline
detergent. A heavy film buildup from hard water minerals
may be removed by adding vinegar or citric acid crystals
(buy at drugstore) to dishwasher without any dishes in
it, after it fills with water at start of first cycle. Do
this only if appliance manual suggests this is OK, and if
the buildup bothers the owner (as it does no harm).
However, very hard water can deposit mineral film on
dishes, glasses, and flatware, and on dishwasher pump and
moving parts; it is wise if water if very hard to install
a water softener before installing a dishwasher.
If iron in water causes rust stains inside
dishwasher, buy a commercial soluble rust remover
(grocery or hardware), checking label to be sure it can
be used to dishwasher. Start empty dishwasher on rinse
cycle. As it fills, open and add 1/2 cup rust remover.
Let dishwasher complete cycle. If iron problem continues
so that another treatment is required, better to install
an iron filter in water system to remove iron as this
will affect dishes, laundry, and all fixtures.
