46 MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE
To maintain performance and prevent trouble, it is
important to check the outside and inside of the
dishwasher, including filters and spray arms, at
regular intervals.
WARNING
When cleaning the outside and inside of the
dishwasher, do not use benzene or thinner.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
To prevent injury during care and maintenance or
cleaning, wear gloves and/or protective clothing.
NOTE
If you have not used the dishwasher for a long time,
refresh the inside by running the Machine Clean
cycle without detergent. When the cycle is finished,
clean the inside and outside of the dishwasher
according to the Maintenance instructions.

Cleaning the Exterior

Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaners on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
Most soil can be removed using a soft, damp cloth
or sponge. A mild soap can be used to help release
stubborn soil. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth
after cleaning.
Stainless steel surfaces can be polished using a
stainless steel cleaner. Follow the instructions on
the cleaner, and wipe in the direction of the grain.
CAUTION
If cooking oil is spilled on the exterior of the
product, wipe it off immediately. Do not clean
the exterior of the product with cleaners which
contain alcohol, thinners, bleach, benzene,
flammable liquids, or abrasives. These
substances may discolor or damage the
appliance.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the dishwasher periodically with
a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove food and
dirt particles.
To remove white spots and odor from inside the
dishwasher, run an empty cycle, without detergent,
with one cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher safe
glass or bowl placed on the upper rack. (Vinegar is
an acid and with constant use it could damage the
appliance.)
Using Machine Clean
- Run the Machine Clean cycle once a month
or after every 30 cycles to eliminate residual
soil, odor, white spots and other dirt inside the
appliance.
1. Remove all dishes from the appliance.
2. Add 3 tbsp. (40 g) of citric acid to the detergent
dispenser or follow the manufacturer's
instructions if using a dishwasher cleaning agent.
Do not use dishwasher detergent.
3. Press and hold Heavy for 3 seconds to select the
Machine Clean cycle.
4. Press Start.
Seasonal Maintenance and
Storage
If you will be absent for an extended period of time
during warmer months, close the water valve and
disconnect the power supply line, or turn off the
circuit breaker. Clean the filter, tub and dispenser to
prevent odor.
If you will be absent for an extended period of time
during colder months and there is a possibility of
freezing temperatures, winterize the water supply
lines and the dishwasher itself. Winterization must
be performed by qualified service personnel.
