Dishwasher care & cleaning:
Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the dishwasher interior. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
