Care And Maintenance - Kenmore 630.1230 Series Use & Care Manual

MAINTENANCE TASKS
Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional
maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will
ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher:
Overall condition of the machine
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The
manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and door seal with a
damp cloth - water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate.
Do not use sponges as they could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, do not use sponges.
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to
remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots
begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse aid is
full and functioning properly.
WARNING
Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris
may be sharp.
Filters
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and
a micro filter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing
water away from the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally
block the filters.
Check the filters for residue by unscrewing the filter cylinder as
illustrated and take out the filter system.
Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the
arrow marks are facing each other after locking it into place.
Spray Arms
Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits, fill detergent dispenser with detergent
and start the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the
highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle information table).
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which
are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the
filters may block the waste water pump.
In this case:
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the filters as previously shown. Scoop out standing water
- use a sponge if necessary.
Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover, then grip the cover and
pull upward until it resists and then pull forward.
Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.
Place cover in the original position, press down and engage until
it clicks.
Preparing your unit for vacation
Before leaving for vacation during warmer weather, besides
turning off the main valve, also turn off water supply at the nearest
point to the dishwasher (usually under the kitchen sink). During
colder weather, please follow the instructions for winterizing
your unit below.
Winterizing your unit
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in
a location that experiences freezing temperatures (holiday home
or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized
by an authorized professional service.
