For best results, it is important to periodically check and care for the filters and spray arms.
WARNING : To prevent any possible injury during care and maintenance/cleaning, be sure to wear
gloves and/or protective clothing.
Cleaning metallic parts
Clean the dishwasher with a cloth or sponge.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, we
recommend the use of a quality stainless steel cleaner.
The stainless steel tub has a tendency to build up
cloudy film on its surface, especially when using hard
water.
To remove filming on the interior surfaces, add 1/4 to
1/2 cup of white vinegar to the tub and run a normal
cycle. If stronger cleaning is needed, use Glisten or
similar cleaning agent which can usually be found
wherever detergents are sold.
Cleaning Spray Arms
- Lower Spray Arm
�Check that the water jet holes are not blocked by
food particles.
�When cleaning is necessary, remove the spray arm
by pulling up.
�Clean the spray arm and replace it by pushing down
to snap it in place. Be sure spray arm turns freely
after installation.
Seasonal Maintenance and Storage
- During the summer season, if you will be absent for
extended periods of time, it is recommended that you
close the water valve and unplug power cord, or shut
off the circuit breaker.
- During the winter season, if there is a possibility of
freezing temperatures, it is recommended that you
winterize the water supply lines and the product
itself.
- Upper Spray Arm
�Pull the upper rack forward. Make sure the water
jet holes are not blocked by food particles.
�If cleaning becomes necessary, remove the spray
arm by turning the nut on the bottom of the spray
arm 1/8th turn counterclockwise and pulling down.
(See illustrations below)
�Clean the spray arm and replace it in the reverse
order. Make sure the nut locks back in place (1/8th
turn).
- Top Spray Arm
�Make sure the water jet holes are not blocked by
food particles.
�When cleaning is necessary, remove the arm by
disassembling the hook from the bracket which
holds the top spray arm assembly to the tub.
�Clean the spray arm and replace it.
