- After the cycle is complete, pull the soap dispenser out and allow to air dry.
- Monthly, pull the soap dispenser all the way out and clean it. Wipe the soap dispenser cavity dry to prevent mold/moisture build-up. Check if your brand allows for the soap dispenser to be dishwasher cleaned.
- Most models come with a clean feature. Run the clean cycle monthly. Use store-bought cleaner—or use vinegar in the detergent cavity—it’s inexpensive and simple! Select clean cycle and press start!
- After your monthly clean cycle, take a towel with mild detergent and wipe the inside lining of the gasket. This step prevents build-up. Also, it will pick up any excess animal hair or other debris that can get generated during the wash cycle.
- Always leave the door ajar—several inches! This continues airflow through the unit and prevents stagnant air/smells.
