5.3 Exterior cleaning (as required)
CAUTION
When cleaning the exterior of the dishwasher,
be sure to follow these guidelines:
•
MEIKO strongly recommends using
detergent when cleaning the exterior of
the unit, instead of commercial stainless
steel cleaners. These cleaners can
damage the surface of the control panel.
•
Never use abrasive cleaners or pads when
cleaning the exterior of the dishwasher.
These can scratch the surface of the unit.
WARNING!
Ensure that detergents and stainless
steel cleaners are kept out of the inte-
rior of the dishwasher. If the interior of
the unit requires cleaning, refer to the
deliming procedures (Section 5.4).
5.4 Deliming (as required)
Lime scale deposits will occur over time on
the interior of the dishwasher if it is operated
using a hard water supply. MEIKO recommends
a hardness of 4-6 grains per U.S. gallon.
A deliming or de-scaling process can be used
to remove these deposits, as well as any
accumulated food residue.
CAUTION
When deliming the interior, be sure to follow
these guidelines:
•
Use deliming agents designed for use with
commercial dishwashers.
•
Follow the instructions for the deliming
agent that is used.
After the deliming process:
1. Run the dishwasher through 3-6 regular
cycles without a load to rinse and sanitize
the interior thoroughly.
2. Inspect the interior for any remaining
deliming agent residue. If residue is
present, remove it using a soft cloth and
hot water; then, run the machine through
one final empty cycle.
3. Press the STOP/OFF (
O
) key; then, press
the START/DRAIN key. This will empty the
tank, ensuring that any deliming agent still
in the tank will be flushed out of the
machine.
WARNING!
Ensure that ALL residue of the
deliming agent is removed. Residue
from the agent can:
-
Pose a health hazard;
-
Damage seals and plastic com-
ponents inside the dishwasher.
