CLEANING
This machine must be cleaned at least once each working day. Use only products formulated to be safe
on stainless steel.
1. Press POWER. The machine will drain. When the display is no
longer lit, open the door and remove any debris from the
bottom of the tank. Do not allow food soil to accumulate on
the tank bottom.
2. Remove the lower rinse arm by unscrewing the thumb nut
(Figure 8). Remove the lower wash arm by pulling the arm off
the shaft. Remove the upper rinse and wash arms in the same
manner. Remove the coarse and fine strainers (see Figures 5
and 6). Thoroughly clean these items in a sink. Remove debris
from wash/rinse arm nozzles.
3. With a damp cloth, wipe the interior of the machine. DO NOT
use steel wool. Wipe the exterior of the machine. Remove any
remaining debris with a mild cleanser formulated for stainless
steel and a soft cloth or brush.
4. Replace the fine and coarse strainers. Reinstall the lower wash arm by pushing it down on the shaft.
Place the lower rinse arm on the shaft and securely tighten the thumb nut. Spin arms to make sure they
spin freely. Repeat this procedure with the upper wash and rinse arms.
5. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge and mild cleanser to clean the control keypad and display. DO NOT use
abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads.
6. Leave the door ajar overnight to allow the interior to air out and dry. The door design allows for the door
to remain partially open and can be used to vent the machine at the end of the day.
