maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your
dishwasher:

to remove debris that might collect 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 and 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. Toremove the top spray arm:
1. Remove the empty top rack from the dishwasher.
3. Remove the spray arm as shown below.
4. Look for obstruction in the spray nozzles.
5. If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.
