Cleaning and Maintenance
Minerals accumulate on the interior surfaces of the dishwasher. The deposits have a white haze
and, in cases of heavy accumulation, may appear as a granular solid. The generic name for mineral
deposits is lime. The removal of lime deposits is called de-liming. Your dishwasher should be
de-limed regularly; how often will depend on the mineral content of your water.
Inspect your machine interior for lime deposits. If de-liming is required, a de-liming agent should be
used for best results in accordance with the chemical supplier's instructions.
Danger:
Death or serious injury may result when de-liming solution is mixed with sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach) sanitizing agent. Mixing may cause hazardous gases to form.
De-liming solution and other acids must never be mixed with chlorine, iodine, bromine, or fluorine.
CAUTION:
Skin contact with de-liming solutions can cause severe irritation and possible chemical burns.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when handling chemicals.
Attention:
Contact your chemical supplier for specific safety procedures and instructions for the use of
the de-liming solution supplied for the dishwasher.
De-liming solution or other chemicals are not supplied by the dishwasher manufacturer.
