Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of your Thermador dishwasher
require occasional maintenance. The
maintenance tasks are easy to do and will
ensure continued superior performance from your
Thermador dishwasher. These tasks are:
• Winterizing Your Thermador Dishwasher
• Wiping up Spills and Splash-out
• Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
• Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
• Check/Clean the Filter System
• Clean the Exterior Door Panel
• Clean the Door Gasket
Winterizing Your Thermador
Dishwasher
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended
period of time in a location that experiences
freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or
through a vacation period), have your dishwasher
winterized by an authorized service center.
Care and Maintenance
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow
water to remain in your dishwasher systems
through extended periods of freezing
temperatures. Freezing temperatures can
damage your dishwasher.
Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
Water may occasionally splash out of your
Thermador dishwasher, especially if you interrupt
a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a
cycle. To avoid floor damage and possible mold
growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around
or under the dishwasher.
Check/Clean the Stainless Steel
Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel
regularly to remove debris that might collect there
from normal loading.
If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub
or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir
is full.
Check/Clean the Spray Arm
Nozzles
Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that
the spray arm nozzles (holes) are unobstructed.
You must remove the spray arms to check them
for obstruction.
To remove the top spray arm:
1. Remove the empty top rack from the
dishwasher.
2. Turn the rack upside-down. The top spray
arm is held in position by a locking nut as
shown in Figure 17A. Turn the locking nut
counter-
clockwise
1/8 turn
and
remove it,
as shown
in Figure
17B to
release the
spray arm.
3. Remove
the spray
arm as
shown in
Figure 18.
4. Look for
obstruction
in the spray
nozzles.
5. If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush
them under running water.
To reinstall the top spray arm:
1. Return the top spray arm to its installed
position.
2. Return the
locking nut
to its
installed
position
and turn it
1/8 turn
clockwise.

top rack to
the top rack roller guides.
