Viking Dishwasher Dishwasher User Manual


 
SAFETY
DOOR SWITCH
LEVEL CONTROL
The machine is equipped with a door switch, breaking the current and interrupting the wash
cycle if the door is opened while the machine is in operation.
Furthermore, the dishwasher is equipped with a level control (overflow), automatically starting
the drain pump should the water level reach a level higher than normal. This level control
functions only if the dishwasher is in operation.
The tank and inner door of the dishwasher is manufactured of stainless steel and kept clean in the course of normal
use. From time to time, the fine mesh filter and the wash arms should be removed for cleaning. The machine may be
cleaned after a period of inactivity by adding a tablespoon of citric acid crystals to a wash cycle.
THE FINE FILTER
Particles collected in the fine filter are automatically flushed away during operation. If the screen of the fine filter is
clogged by lime sediment or dirt, it must be cleaned. This cannot always be seen on top of the screen. Therefore,
remove the filter periodically and check the underside. First, remove the coarse strainer. Next, unscrew the horizontal
filter which is located in center of fine filter. Remove the filter and clean the underside. Replace the filter and screw
horizontal filter back in place.
THE COARSE STRAINER
Large food particles, which cannot pass through the drainage pump, are collected in the coarse strainer. Lift out and
empty the coarse strainer when necessary. Don't forget to put it back again. It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the coarse strainer area.

WARNING: Never operate the
dishwasher without the filters in
place.

THE WASH ARM HOLES AND BEARINGS
The wash arm holes and bearings can be clogged by dirt. Remove the plastic locks on top of the flushing arms and lift
them off. Use a needle or similar device to push the dirt out of the holes.
AIR GAP
To prevent dirty water from siphoning back into the dishwasher, certain local plumbing codes demand that you install
an air gap. This is not part of the dishwasher however, it is part of the plumbing. It is very important to keep the air
gap clean. You should check it at least once a week to make sure that it is working as it should. If this is not the case,
lift up the chrome cover and plastic cap, and clean with something suitable like a toothpick. Always check the air gap
first if the drain becomes blocked and there is water left in the dishwasher.
