Cleaning and Maintenance
Minerals accumulate on the interior surfaces of the dishwasher. The deposits have a white haze
and, in cases of heavy accumulation, may appear as a granular solid. The generic name for
mineral deposits is lime. The removal of lime deposits is called de-liming. Your dishwasher should
be de-limed regularly; how often will depend on the mineral content of your water.
Inspect your machine interior for lime deposits. If de-liming is required, a de-liming agent should
be used for best results in accordance with the chemical supplier's instructions.
De-liming
! DANGER !
Death or serious injury may result when de-liming solution is mixed with sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach) sanitizing agent. Mixing may cause hazardous gases to form. De-liming solution
and other acids must never be mixed with chlorine, iodine, bromine, or fluorine.
! CAUTION !
Skin contact with de-liming solutions can cause severe irritation and possible chemical burns.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when handling chemicals.
