CLEANING THE TOP DUCT
Disconnect electrical power supply(ies) and follow lockout / tagout procedures before you begin cleaning.
Debris and airborne particles will settle on the Top Covers and the surfaces inside the Top Duct. The Top Duct should be cleaned about every two weeks, as appropriate for your location. There are two handles on each of the removable Top Covers so they can be lifted or moved to access the inside of the Top Duct for cleaning (Fig. 29).
Before draining and cleaning the machine, perform the following cleaning task. Use an appropriate ladder and both hands to remove each Top Cover. Clean inside the Top Duct with mild detergent / warm water solution and brush, cloth, or sponge. Clean the Top Duct from the UNLOAD END of the machine towards the LOAD END. If necessary, the Top Duct may be hosed down. Rinse with clean water. Clean both sides of the Top Covers individually while they are removed. After cleaning the Top Duct and the Top Covers, replace each Top Cover in its correct location.
After cleaning the Top Duct, clean the dishwasher as discussed on pages 7 – 8.
