Care and Cleaning

Interior

The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning. Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large par- ticles have not gone through the strainer portion of the module.

Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading.

The color from some tomato-based food soils has been known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs, causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:

•Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.

•Run the Heavy Wash cycle.

Exterior

The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Storage/Moving

Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any cycle as all cycles begin with a drain. Listen for the drain to complete, then open the door to interrupt the cycle prior to the fill. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the door. (See Important Safety Instructions, #14, page 1).

MDB4160, 6 915555 B, MDC4100, MDBD820, MDB4100 specifications

Maytag has long been synonymous with durability and performance in the appliance industry, and its range of dishwashers demonstrates this legacy. The Maytag series, which includes models such as the 6 915555 B, MDC4100, MDB4160, MDBD820, and MDB4100, showcases a blend of innovative technologies and features designed to make dishwashing efficient and effortless.

One of the standout features across these models is the PowerDry option, which ensures dishes come out thoroughly dry, eliminating the need for towel drying. This is particularly beneficial for glassware and plastics that tend to retain moisture. The models are designed with a robust stainless steel tub that not only enhances durability but also improves drying performance by retaining heat during the wash cycle.

These dishwashers are equipped with the Advanced Clean Wash System, a technology that utilizes a high-efficiency spray arm to ensure complete coverage of all dishes. The powerful spray action targets tough food particles, allowing for a thorough clean without the need for pre-rinsing. The Sensor Cycle feature intelligently adjusts the wash cycle based on the soil level of the dishes, maximizing water and energy efficiency.

User convenience is a hallmark of Maytag dishwashers. The QuietSeries sound package offers whisper-quiet operation, making them ideal for open-concept living spaces. Additionally, the models feature a variety of wash cycles, including Heavy, Normal, and Quick, giving users flexibility based on their needs.

Capacity is another strong suit of these models, with adjustable racks that can accommodate larger pots and pans. The fold-down tines in the lower rack create more space for bulky items, while a dedicated utensil basket ensures that smaller items are clean and organized.

Moreover, Maytag's commitment to reliability is exemplified by a 10-year limited parts warranty, underscoring their confidence in the longevity of their products. Energy-efficient certifications also make these dishwashers environmentally friendly choices for modern kitchens.

In summary, Maytag's lineup of dishwashers, including the 6 915555 B, MDC4100, MDB4160, MDBD820, and MDB4100, delivers a combination of advanced cleaning technology, user-friendly features, and reliable performance, making them a wise choice for consumers seeking efficiency and durability in their kitchen appliances.
