Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Filters Regularly: Remove and rinse the coarse, fine, and main filter assembly under running water to clear food debris and prevent blockages; use a soft brush for stubborn residue. The dishwasher should never be run without filters properly in place.

• Spray Arm Care: Clean the upper and lower spray arms regularly — unscrew them by hand, wash in warm soapy water, and brush out jets to avoid clogging from hard water minerals.

• Wipe Interior After Use: After cycles, use a damp soft cloth to wipe down the tub, door gasket, and edges to reduce buildup and odors.

• Exterior & Control Panel: Clean the front panel and controls with a lightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sprays that can scratch surfaces or penetrate electrical components.

• Rinse Aid Refill: Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled to help reduce spots and improve drying performance.

• Check Loading & Spray Rotation: Load dishes so they don’t block spray arms — obstructed arms reduce cleaning effectiveness.

• Ventilate & Level: Ensure the dishwasher is level and properly installed with good clearance so water drains correctly and cycles run efficiently.

• Quick Spill Wipe: Immediately wipe any detergent or rinse aid spills to prevent streaks, film, or corrosion on door edges
