Caring And Maintenance
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 you dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or tip circuit breaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain 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 water in rubber
boot.
Cleaning The Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly or 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 and
warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them
thoroughly.
Cleaning The Filters
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles form the wash water,
allowing it to be re-circulated 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 figures 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 damage dishes and utensils.
WARNIING – Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
Cleaning The Door
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.
WARNING - Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock
and electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel
because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
