5.3 Exterior cleaning (as required)
CAUTION
When cleaning the exterior of the machine,
be sure to follow these guidelines:
•
Meiko strongly recommends using deter-
gent 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 machine.
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 machine. 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 machine if it is operated
using a hard water supply. Meiko recommends
a hardness of 4 grains per U.S. gallon (7 DH
German hardness).
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 machine through 2-3 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 POWER OFF
button; then,
press the CYCLE/DRAIN
button. 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
components inside the machine.
