Maintenance - Viking 301 Series Use & Care Manual

Maintenance

Your new dishwasher is designed to give you years of dependable
service. In order to maintain a high level of performance, you need to
make sure your dishwasher is properly cared for and cleaned. Here are
a few things you can do to make sure your dishwasher performs at its
highest level.
Primary Filter
(Do not remove primary filter)
Filters
The filters are important, because they continuously filter wash water.
Under normal operation, the filters are self cleaning and require no
maintenance. If there is a heavy amount of food soil, sediment or hard
water conditions, it may be necessary to clean the filters after each use.
To clean, remove the filters as shown in the above illustration and soak
overnight in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Citric cleaner and
water are also acceptable. Filters should appear bright when clean.
The Coarse Strainer
Large food particles that can't pass through the drainage pump are
collected in the coarse strainer. Lift out and empty the coarse strainer
when necessary. Don't forget to put it back again. It is normal for a small
amount of water to remain in the coarse strainer area.
WARNING
Never operate the dishwasher without the filters in place.

To Clean Filters
Remove the coarse strainer and empty. If necessary, remove the fine
filter and clean all surfaces. DO NOT remove primary filter. Replace the
filters and secure in place.
Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if
the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is
left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second or vacation home, avoid
water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by an authorized
service person.
