06 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the spray arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals
will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arms, screw
off the nut clockwise to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and
remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft
brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.
Caring for the dishwasher
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly.
To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Protect against freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technical to:
1.
Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3.
Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
4.
Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5.
Remove the fi lter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump.
Cleaning the door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of
water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
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.
WARNING
: Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and
electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the
risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
