WARNING!
Before ANY cleaning, check that the
circuit breaker/fused disconnect is in
the OFF position and that the unit is
switched off.
IMPORTANT
The headings
Daily Cleaning
and
Weekly
Cleaning
in this section are general
recommendations based on typical soiling.
If soil beings to accumulate, the unit should
be cleaned more frequently. Extensive food
soil deposits inside the machine work against
optimal performance. Some items may not
be cleaned as effectively, resulting in the need
for either a longer cycle or repeat washing. In
addition, heavy soiling in the wash water
increases detergent consumption.
5.1 Daily Cleaning (or as required)
1. The dishwasher automatically enters a
self-cleaning cycle when it is turned off.
The interior will be sprayed with hot, fresh
water as the booster tank empties.
2. AFTER this cycle ends and the machine
shuts down, open the door. Remove any
food particles, scraps or bones from the
scrap screens.
3. Lift out the scrap screens and clean them
thoroughly using a brush and warm water.
4. Lift out the Active Plus filter. Clean it thor-
oughly using a brush and warm water. Be
sure to use care to avoid damaging the
screen on the Active Plus filter.
5. MEIKO recommends that the door of the
dishwasher be left open overnight to allow
it to air thoroughly.
6. Reassemble all components into the ma-
chine before operation. Note the following:
-
The Active Plus filter MUST be rein-
stalled with the slotted end facing
DOWN. See Figure 5-1.
-
The scrap screens MUST be reinstalled
so that the round grate lines up with
the Active Plus filter. See Figure 5-1.
5.2 Weekly Cleaning (or as required)
Once per week, or as required, perform the
following steps:
1. Open the door. Remove and clean the
scrap screens and Active Plus filter as de-
scribed in Section 5.1, “Daily Cleaning.”
2. Remove and disassemble the arms as
shown in Figures 5-2 and 5-3. Clean the
arms with a brush and warm running water.
3. Reassemble all components into the dish-
washer. Note the following:
-
The Active Plus filter MUST be rein-
stalled with the slotted end facing
DOWN. See Figure 5-1.
-
The scrap screens MUST be reinstalled
so that the round grate lines up with
the Active Plus filter. See Figure 5-1.
-
The top and bottom wash arms are
identical and interchangeable.
-
The rinse arms are NOT interchange-
able and MUST be replaced in their
original positions. The bottom rinse
arm is marked “BOTTOM.” The top
rinse arm is marked “TOP.”
