Care and Maintenance

CLEANING:

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING:

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1)Cut off electrical power to the dishwasherand remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

2)Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

3)Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to catch the water).

4)Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5)Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to soak up the water in rubber boot.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS:

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace after rinsing them thoroughly.

CLEANING THE FILTERS:

•For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

•The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water.

•To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.

•To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figure at left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

•The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and may damage dishes and utensils.

Warning: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

CLEANINGTHEDOOR:

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP:

Something will occasionally move into the filters and the drain pump. If this occurs, the drain pumps employed in our dishwashers are designed to automatically reverse, ejecting the item back into the sump area or down the drain. If you have to remove an obstacle from the drain pump, before you remove the filters, you should turn off the power; Then remove the small black insert from the sump area. (You might want to remove any standing water first). Scoop out the item that is probably in the sump area and causing the obstruction. Remember to replace the black insert before replacing the filters.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher Running Properly...

After Every Wash- After every wash, turn off the water supply to the applianceand leave the door slightly ajar so that

moisture and odorsare not trapped inside.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products- To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth and warm, soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with warm water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When You Go on Holiday- When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming in the appliance. Seals- One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
