How to Clean Simplicity Dishwasher

To clean a Simplicity Dishwasher, please follow these steps:

1. Empty the dishwasher of any dishes, utensils, or cookware.
2. Remove and clean the filter, usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, by rinsing it under running water and gently scrubbing with a soft brush if needed.
3. Clean the spray arms by removing them from the dishwasher and using a toothpick or small brush to clear any debris from the spray holes.
4. Wipe down the dishwasher interior, including the door and seals, with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm, soapy water. Be sure to remove any food debris or buildup.
5. Place a dishwasher-safe container filled with white vinegar on the bottom rack, then run a normal wash cycle without detergent or additional dishes inside. The vinegar will help to remove soap scum and mineral deposits.
6. After the cycle is complete, sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher and run a short, hot water cycle.
7. Once the cycle is finished, your Simplicity Dishwasher should be clean and ready for use.
