Hi there! Good question! Here are the steps on how to clean the exterior: • Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaners on the exterior of the dishwasher. • Most soil can be removed using a soft, damp cloth or sponge. A mild soap can be used to help release stubborn soil. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth after cleaning. • Stainless steel surfaces can be polished using a stainless steel cleaner. Follow the instructions on the cleaner, and wipe in the direction of the grain. ^Jolly

The LG Front Control Dishwasher with QuadWash™, Model # LDFN3432T does not have a dishwasher salt compartment that you can add salt to. It is recommended that you run the Machine Clean cycle once a month or after every 30 cycles to eliminate residual soil, odor, white spots, and other dirt inside the appliance. You can add 3 tbsp. (40 g) of citric acid to the detergent dispenser or follow the manufacturer’s instructions if using a dishwasher cleaning agent. According to cleaning product manufacturers, all-in-one products for dishwashers make regenerating salt and rinse aid superfluous. The rinse aid and salt functions are included in the tablet, along with other features. As a result, the customer no longer has to add salt and rinse aid. Do not use dishwasher detergent. To remove white spots and odor from inside the dishwasher, you can also run an empty cycle, without detergent, with one cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe glass or bowl placed on the upper rack. (Vinegar is an acid and with constant use, it could damage the appliance...^Ivan

You can run the Front Control Dishwasher with QuadWash™, Model # LDFN3432T at any time that you find convenient. The dishwasher automatically turns off after four minutes of inactivity if paused or if no cycle is started.

This dishwasher has a Night Dry option that runs the ventilation fan periodically to help vent the steam from the tub. The washer also has a Delay Start feature that delays the start of your selected cycle. Each time the Delay Start button is pressed, the delay time increases by an hour. The delay time can be set from 1 to 12 hours, in one-hour increments...^Ivan

The Front Control Dishwasher with QuadWash™, Model # LDFN3432T does not use a heating element for drying. instead, it relies on the heat that is retained by the dishes and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture in the tub into humidity. Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air then cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room temperature air is also drawn into the duct to help the air cool down faster. When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out.. If a rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub. Rinse aid helps to ensure that the majority of the water has been sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse and that the load is ready for the dry cycle. Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish. Using the High Temp. setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is usedand the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used. Water tends to bead rather than sheet off plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically. Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes...^Ivan
