MAINTENANCE
DELIMING
The dishwasher should be delimed on a regular basis as required. The frequency will depend
on the mineral content of the supply water. Inspect the machine interior for lime deposits. If
deliming is necessary, a deliming agent (such as Lime Away or LSR) should be used for best
results.
Depending on the model of your machine, carefully follow the appropriate procedure outlined
below.
DELIMING MODEL SR24C (CHEMICAL SANITIZING MODEL)
WARNING: DELIMING SOLUTION, RINSE AGENTS OR OTHER ACIDS MUST NOT COME IN
CONTACT WITH HOUSEHOLD SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE (BLEACH) OR OTHER CHEMICALS
CONTAINING CHLORINE, IODINE, BROMINE OR FLOURINE, AS MIXING MAY CAUSE
HAZARDOUS GAS TO FORM. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL CHEMICAL REPRESENTATIVE. THIS
ENTIRE PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP FOR SAFE AND SATISFACTORY
RESULTS.
Remove the standpipe assembly from the bleach container and place it in a catch pan as close
to the floor as possible.
Cycle the machine nine times to clear the lines of the bleach dispensing system.
Delime as follows:
1. Remove rack from machine.
2. Close the door.
3. Allow machine to fill for 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Partially open the door and wait 5 seconds.
5. Open door; add deliming agent (carefully follow supplier's instructions).
NOTE: The sump holds 1.4 gallons of water.
6. Close the door and allow the machine to complete the wash/rinse cycle.
7. Inspect the interior of the machine for lime deposits. Repeat steps 2 through 6 if
necessary.
8. Reconnect the bleach system and run through nine (9) complete cycles (without racks) to
recharge the delivery system.
Caution: Do not allow the deliming agent to remain in the machine longer than recommended
by the deliming agent manufacturer. After deliming, the machine should be run through
two cyles with no dishes to rinse and flush the machine interior BEFORE RECONNECTING
BLEACH SYSTEM.
