“strong odor with first uses? Does this dishwasher have a strong chemical or plastic smell for the first several uses? Worried about new smells from the plastic tub, rubber gaskets, racks etc... Daughter has asthma and reacts badly to this type of thing so any input would be greatly appreciated!”

This is a normal smell and should dissipate with time. Try one these recommendations to reduce odor. Run a white vinegar rinse to reduce odor: • Wash and rinse dishes. Do not use a heated dry option. Use an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items. • Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. • Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. The vinegar will mix with the wash water. • Run the dishwasher through a normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'd suggest running it through 2 or 3 cycles (with detergent) while empty. That should make it nearly sterile.
