It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water residue can clog
the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the middle spray arm, hold the nut,
rotate the arm clockwise to remove it. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out
the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in warm and soapy water and use a soft
brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the
finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
