DISHWASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All
follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
Thissafety
is themessages
safety alertwillsymbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

MM PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTMONS
WARNING:

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
R Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
[] Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the
reach of children.

[] Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
[] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish
racks of the dishwasher.

[] When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce
the risk of cut-type injuries.

[] To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on the dishwasher.

[] Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.

[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

Rinse aid dispenser

Soils washed from the dishes are filtered from the wash water
through the pump system. (See illustration below.)

The ULTRA WASH _ Soil Removal System gives you sparkling
clean dishes, while using less energy and time. The ULTRA
WASH ®Soil Removal System includes:
•

A heavy-duty grinder that acts as a food disposer to grind
and dispose of large food particles.

•

An ULTRA WASH _ sensor to monitor soil level and adjust the
cycles as needed.

•

An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures the
proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, and
soil level of the load.

•

A Triple Action Filtration system that intermittently
from the wash water.

filters soil

How the ULTRA WASH ®Soil Removal System and the
Triple Action Filtration System work
1. Load the dishwasher. Remove bones, large chunks or
burned-on food. No rinsing is necessary. Any remaining food
soil will be ground up and disposed down the drain with the
wash water.
2.

After dishwasher starts, hot water fills the dishwasher to a
level near the bottom of the overfill protection float.

When the wash cycle begins, the SENSING indicator glows
and the soil level and water temperature are read. During this
process, a rotating pattern of lights will appear in the display.

The water drains at the end of the wash cycle or when high
soil levels are sensed. Once drained, water fills again near the
bottom of the overfill protection float.
As the main wash cycle begins, the SENSING indicator glows
while the sensors measure soil load and temperature. Heat
will be added during this period until the needed temperature
is reached. At this time, the displayed countdown pauses and
HEATING PAUSE indicator glows until the needed
temperature is reached.

Yl ) IM

1. Soiled water flows into the pump.
2. The water is then pumped into the spray arms.
3. A portion of the pumped water is directed
through the fllterbox.

Water travels through this system continuously
wash and rinse cycles.
8.

Detergent is dispensed at the correct time in the cycle. The
hot water and detergent spray against the soiled surfaces of
the load and remove food particles.

Once soils collect in the filterbox, they will be sensed and
purged. (See 3 above.) The soil is purged by removing only
the soils and water in the filterbox. Only a small amount of hot
water is removed from the wash cycle. Removing only soiled
water conserves water and detergent.

The length of the main wash depends on the soil level sensed
and the time needed to reach water temperature. The wash
action will repeatedly pause for several seconds during this
process.
10. Once the first rinse begins, fresh hot water enters the
dishwasher and sprays onto the dishes. This rinse water is
then pumped through the ULTRA WASH ° Soil Removal
System and remaining soil is removed.
11. The final rinse water is heated with an additional HEATING
PAUSE. The rinse aid is dispensed to the water for the final
rinse to prepare the dishes for drying.
How the ULTRA WASH _ Sensor and the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) work
1. The SENSING indicator glows while the ULTRA WASH _
Sensors detect the soil level or water temperature in the
dishwasher.
2.

After the soil level is determined, unnecessary portions of the
cycle are skipped. As this happens, the electronic display
pauses or adjusts the cycle display time. This is normal.

The ATC adjusts the water temperature throughout the cycle
depending upon the soil level detected. Higher water
temperatures are used to improve cleaning with heavier
soiled loads.

The temperature needed depends on the cycle chosen and
the soil level and dishload sensed.

during both

TM
How the smartwash
Sensing System works
1. When the smartwash TM cycle is started, the SENSING
indicator glows while the smartwash TM Sensors are
detecting the amount of soil, water temperature, and the size
of the dishload in the dishwasher.

After the soil level and dishload size are determined, the
sensors automatically adjust the temperature and the amount
of water used for the load. This allows less water usage when
there is a smaller, less heavily-soiled dishload.

START-UP GUIDE

DISHWASHER LOADING

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.
Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important
safety information and useful operating tips.

Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks
from dishes.

Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.")
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save
time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them in
the dishwasher.

or bones)

NOTE: Dishes soiled with tomato-based
pre-rinsed to avoid staining.

products

should be

The wash module removes food particles from the water. The
module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size
of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
Damage can occur.

Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

•

For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

•

It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

•

Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible.

•

Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy
items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they
are dropped or bumped.

•

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

Conserve water, energy and save time over hand rinsing by
running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan
to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta,
spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they
are left to dry over a period of time.
•

Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and
draining.

the water temperature is too low, Water that is too hot can make
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent
ingredients not to function, If your water heater is located far from
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold
water in the water line.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
least 1 minute.

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse wate£ Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep
it full, but be careful not to overfill it,

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.

Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

Replace the dispenser knob.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.

DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a
mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your
dishwasher looking nice and clean.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please
call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®. Ask for Part Number 300096.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is
not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your
dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with
the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To clean the drain air gap
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of
your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the
manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover.
Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean
if necessary.

Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning
off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Winterizing
your dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to
freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal
dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have
your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the
inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear
rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than
dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing
results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency
Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the
"Detergent Dispenser" section. Detergent must be fresh to be

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120
psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster
pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too
low.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white

rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be
removed. Do not use heated drying.
White spots on cookware

interior

Dishes do not dry completely

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain
types of glassware. This is usually caused by some
combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing
solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher,
and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the
problem, except by hand washing.

•

Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed
in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Regular
use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect
dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an
air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood
of staining.

Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving
dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or
dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.
Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle
using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will
mix with the wash water.

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes
using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the
covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use
detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If
treatment is needed more often than every other month, the
installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

Dep6sito del agente de enjuague

La suciedad que se ha lavado de la vajilla sera filtrada del
agua de lavado a traves del sistema de bombeo. (Vea la
ilustraci6n abajo.)

El sistema de remocidn de suciedad ULTRA WASH _ le brinda
platos limpios y relucientes, empleando el menor tiempo posible
y la menor cantidad de energia. El sistema de remocidn de
suciedad ULTRA WASH _>incluye:
•

Un triturador resistente que act0a como eliminador de
alimentos para triturar y eliminar particulas grandes de
alimentos.

•

Un sensor ULTRA WASH _>que monitorea el nivel de suciedad
y regula los ciclos seg0n sea necesario.

•

Un Control Automatico de Temperatura (CAT) que asegura la
temperatura apropiada del agua seg0n el ciclo de lavado
seleccionado y el nivel de suciedad de la carga,

•

Un sistema de Filtracidn de Triple Acci6n que filtra
intermitentemente la suciedad del agua de lavado.

!. El agua sucia entra en la bomba.
2. Luego el agua es bombeada en los brazos
rociadores.
3. Una parte del agua bombeada se dirige a
tray, s de la caja del filtro.

El agua viaja continuamente a traves de este sistema durante
los ciclos de lavado y enjuague.

Cbmo funcionan los sistemas de remocibn de suciedad
ULTRA WASH _ y de Filtracibn de Triple Accibn
1. Cargue la lavavajillas. Quite los huesos, los trozos grandes de
alimentos o alimentos quemados. No es necesario enjuagar.
Cualquier resto de alimentos sera triturado y eliminado con el
agua de lavado.

Una vez que se junta la suciedad en la caja del filtro, sera
detectada y eliminada. (Vea 3 arriba.) La suciedad se elimina
quitando solamente los desechos y el agua en la caja del
filtro, $61o se quitara una peque_a cantidad de agua caliente
del ciclo de lavado, Quitando solamente el agua sucia, se
conserva agua y detergente,

Despues de que empieza a funcionar la lavavajillas, el agua
caliente Ilena la lavavajillas a un nivel cerca de la parte inferior
del flotador de protecci6n de sobrellenado.

Cuando comience el ciclo de lavado, el indicador de
SENSING (deteccidn) se iluminara y leera el nivel de suciedad
y de temperatura del agua, Durante este proceso aparecera
un modelo giratorio de luces en la pantalla,

La duraci6n del lavado principal depende del nivel de
suciedad detectado y del tiempo necesario para alcanzar la
temperatura del agua, La acci6n de lavado hara pausas
repetidamente per unos cuantos segundos durante este
proceso,

11. El agua del enjuague final se calienta con una HEATING
PAUSE (Pausa del calentador) adicional, Se agrega el agente
de enjuague al agua de enjuague final a fin de preparar la
vajilla para el secado.

El agua se drena al final del ciclo de lavado o cuando se
detectan altos niveles de suciedad. Una vez que haya
drenado, se Ilenara de agua nuevamente cerca del fondo del
flotador de protecci6n de sobrellenado.
Cuando comience el ciclo de lavado principal, se iluminara el
indicador de SENSING (Detecci6n) mientras los sensores
miden el nivel de suciedad y la temperatura de la carga,
Durante este periodo se agregara calor hasta que alcance la
temperatura necesaria, En este memento, la cuenta regresiva
en la pantalla hace una pausa y el indicador HEATING PAUSE
(Pausa del calentador) se ilumina hasta que alcance la
temperatura necesaria.

10. Una vez que comienza el primer enjuague, el agua caliente
limpia entra en la lavavajillas y rocia la vajilla. Luego el agua
de enjuague es expelida mediante el sistema de remoci6n de
suciedad ULTRA WASH _, eliminando la suciedad restante.

(

La temperatura necesaria depende del ciclo elegido y del
nivel de suciedad y de la carga de vajilla detectados.
El detergente sera distribuido en el tiempo correcto del ciclo.
El rociado de agua caliente y detergente sobre las superficies
sucias de la carga elimina las particulas de alimentos.

Cbmo funcionan el Sensor ULTRA WASH _>y el Control
Automatico de Temperatura (CAT)
1. El indicador SENSING (Detecci6n) se ilumina mientras los
sensores ULTRA WASH ° detectan el nivel de suciedad o de
temperatura del agua en la lavavajillas,
2.

Luego de haberse determinado el nivel de suciedad, la
lavavajillas omite las etapas innecesarias del ciclo. Mientras
esto sucede, la pantalla electr6nica hace una pausa o ajusta
el tiempo en la pantalla del ciclo. Esto es normal.

El CAT regula la temperatura del agua durante todo el ciclo,
de acuerdo con el nivel de suciedad detectado, Para cargas
con suciedad mas profunda, se usan temperaturas de agua
mas altas, las cuales mejoran la acci6n de limpieza.

Cbmo funciona el sistema de deteccibn smartwash
TM
(Lavado inteligente)
1. Cuando empieza el ciclo smartwash TM, el indicador
SENSING (Detecci6n) se ilumina mientras los sensores
smartwash TM detectan la cantidad de suciedad, la
temperatura del agua y el tama_o de la carga de vajilla en la
lavavajillas,

Luego de que se hayan determinado el nivel de suciedad y el
tamafio de la carga de vajilla, los sensores ajustan
automaticamente la temperatura y la cantidad de agua que
debera usarse para la carga. Esto permite que se use menos
agua cuando la carga de vajilla es mas peque_a y con menos
suciedad profunda.

Oprima las selecciones de ciclo y opciones que desee.
(Consulte "C6mo usar la lavavajillas".) Oprima START (Inicio).
U oprima START (Inicio) para repetir el mismo ciclo y las
mismas opciones come en el ciclo previo.

GU|A DE PUESTA
EN MARCHA
Antes de usar su lavavajillas, quite todos los materiales de
embalaje. Lea todo este Manual de Uso y Cuidado. Usted
encontrara informaci6n de seguridad importante asi como
consejos Qtiles para la operaci6n.

Quite los pedazos grandes de restos de alimentos y otros
objetos duros (palillos o huesos) de los platos.

Cargue adecuadamente la lavavajillas, (Consulte "C6mo
cargar la lavavajillas'.) AsegQrese de que nada impida que el
(los) brazo(s) rociador(es) gire(n) libremente.

COMO CARGAR LA
LAVAVAJILLAS

.....

_#.....

Quite los restos de alimentos, huesos, palillos y otros
articulos duros de los platos. Para conservar agua, energ[a y
ahorrar tiempo, no es necesario enjuagar los platos antes de
ponerlos en la lavavajillas.
NOTA: Los plates que esten sucios de productos a base de
tomate deben enjuagarse previamente para evitar que se
manchen.
El m6dulo de lavado quita las particulas de alimentos del
agua. El m6dulo contiene un dispositivo de corte que reduce
el tamafio de las particulas de alimentos.

Agregue detergente y revise el dep6sito del agente de
enjuague. Agregue agente de enjuague si fuera necesario.
(Consulte "C6mo usar la lavavajillas".)

NOTA: Si objetos duros tales como semillas de frutas,
nueces y cascaras de huevo entran en el m6dulo de lavado,
usted podra oir cuando el material esta siendo picado,
molido, triturado o escuchar zumbidos. Estos sonidos son
normales cuando entran objetos duros en el m6dulo. No
permita que objetos metalicos (tales como los tornillos de los
mangos de ollas) se introduzcan en el m6dulo de lavado ya
que pueden da_arlo.
Para Iograr un mejor secado, el agua debe escurrirse de
todas las superficies.

Empuje la puerta cerrandola con firmeza. La puerta queda
asegurada automaticamente. Deje correr agua caliente en el
fregadero que este mas cerca de su lavavajillas hasta que el
agua salga caliente. (Consulte "Consejos para la eficiencia de
la lavavajillas".) Cierre la Ilave del agua.

Es importante que el rociado de agua alcance todas las
superficies sucias.
Coloque los platos de manera que no esten amontonados
superpuestos de set posible.

Preste especial cuidado cuando cargue ollas y cazuelas
pesadas. Los art[culos pesados pueden abollar el interior de
acero inoxidable de la puerta si se dejan caer o se golpean.
AsegQrese que las tapas de ollas y los mangos, moldes para
pizza, moldes para galletas, etc., no interfieran con la
rotaci6n del brazo rociador.
Conserve agua, energia y ahorre tiempo de enjuague a mano
haciendo correr un ciclo de enjuague para mantener los
platos hQmedos, si usted no planea lavarlos pronto. Los
alimentos tales como los huevos, arroz, pasta, espinaca y
cereales cocidos pueden ser dificiles de eliminar si Ilegan a
secarse despues de un tiempo.
Coloque los objetos de manera que su parte c6ncava mire
hacia abajo para la limpieza y para que el agua se escurra.

Consejos para el funcionamiento

(Ollas, Cazuelas), o el ciclo Normal con la opcidn Hi Temp Scrub
(Restregado a Temperatura Alta) para obtener el 6ptimo
rendimiento en el lavado con agua muy dura.

Los agentes de enjuague impiden que el agua forme gotitas que
pueden secarse come manchas o rayas. Asimismo mejoran el
secado pues permiten que el agua se escurra de los plates
durante el enjuague final, al verter una peque_a cantidad de
agente de enjuague en el agua de enjuague. Su lavavajillas esta
dise_ada para usar un agente de enjuague liquido. No use
agentes de enjuague s61idos o en barra.
Llenado del dep6sito
El dep6sito de agente de enjuague tiene capacidad para 4,8 oz
(145 mL) de agente de enjuague. En condiciones normales, esta
cantidad durara aproximadamente tres meses. No tiene que
esperar hasta que el dep6sito este vacfo para rellenarlo. Trate de
mantenerlo Ileno, pete tenga cuidado de no exceder su
capacidad.

El agua caliente disuelve y activa el detergente para lavavajillas.
El agua caliente tambien disuelve la grasa que se encuentra en
los platos y ayuda a secar los vases sin manchas. Para Iograr
6ptimos resultados en el lavado de la vajilla, el agua debera tener
una temperatura de 120°F (49°C) al entrar en la lavavajillas. Si la
temperatura del agua esta demasiado baja, es posible que la
vajilla no se lave bien. El agua demasiado caliente puede
dificultar la eliminaci6n de algunos tipos de suciedad e impedir la
acci6n de ciertos ingredientes en el detergente. Si el calentador
de agua esta ubicado lejos de la lavavajillas, quizas sea
necesario dejar correr el agua caliente en el grifo que este mas
cercano a la lavavajillas para minimizar la cantidad de agua frfa
en la tuberia de agua.
Para revisar la temperatura del agua
1. Deje correr el agua caliente de la Nave que esta mas cerca de
su lavavajillas, por Io menos un minuto.

funcionar su lavavajillas durante las horas de menos
consume de energia. Las empresas locales de servicios
pt]blicos recomiendan que se evite un alto consume de
energia en determinadas horas del dfa.
Durante el verano, ponga a funcionar su lavavajillas por la
noche. Esto reduce la acumulaci6n de calor en la cocina
durante el dia.
Use un agente de enjuague para mejorar el secado.
Use ciclos u opciones que aBadan calor extra a la porci6n de
lavado o enjuague del ciclo Qnicamente cuando sea
necesario.
Si su casa esta equipada con un ablandador de agua, tal vez
quiera evitar comenzar a usar la lavavajillas durante la

REMARQUE : Le dispositif anti-refoulement est un article de
plomberie externe qui ne fait pas partie de votre lave-vaisselle. La
garantie fournie avec votre lave-vaisselle ne couvre pas les coots
de service directement associes au nettoyage ou a la reparation
d'un dispositif anti-refoulement externe.

Nettoyage de I'ext_rieur
Dans la plupart des cas, il suffit d'utiliser un linge doux, humide
ou une eponge et un detergent doux pour nettoyer les surfaces
exterieures du lave-vaisselle et preserver son aspect de
produit neuf.

Nettoyage de I'int_rieur
Les composes mineraux presents dans I'eau dure peuvent
provoquer I'accumulation d'un film blanch_tre sur les surfaces
interieures, particulierement juste au-dessous de la porte.
Ne pas nettoyer les surfaces internes du lave-vaisselle avant
qu'elles aient refroidi. Porter des gants de caoutchouc. Ne pas
utiliser un produit de nettoyage autre que le detergent pour lavevaisselle; ce premier pourrait provoquer un moussage excessif.

Nettoyage du dispositif anti-refoulement
Nettoyer le dispositif anti-refoulement periodiquement pour
assurer la vidange adequate de votre lave-vaisselle. Suivre les
instructions de nettoyage fournies par le fabricant. Pour la
plupart des types, il suffit de soulever le couvercle chrome, de
devisser le capuchon de plastique, puis de verifier s'il y a une
accumulation de salete. Nettoyer au besoin.

taches n'affectent pas la performance du lave-vaisselle. Pour
reduire le risque de formation de taches, utiliser
