CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals may clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the middle spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise to remove it. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

CLEANING THE DOOR

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag.

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.

WARNING: Never use a spray cleaner to clvean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not advised to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
