Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure the dishwasher continues operating at peak performance. Over time, minerals from water can build up in the machine and leave a white or cloudy  residue on the inside of the tub, door, and even internal parts.

Food residue may be stuck between the narrow gaps inside the dishwasher after completion of cycle.

 Any food residue left inside the dishwasher may cause odor and bacteria.

When cleaning the interior of the dishwasher, do not use benzene or thinner. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
