How do I clean and maintain the dishwasher interior and stainless steel exterior?

The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning, but periodically check the bottom of the tub for large particles and wipe the inner door liner edge to remove food splashes. For a stainless steel exterior, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water, a white vinegar and water solution, or a multi-surface cleaner for daily cleaning — never use products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid. For streaks or fingerprints, use a soft cloth with Stainless Steel Magic Spray.
