5.2 Weekly Cleaning (or as required)

Once per week, or as required, perform the
following steps:
• With the scrap screens removed from the
machine, remove the wash arm manifolds
See Figure 5-2. If the machine is equipped
with a prewash section, the arms and
manifolds can also be removed at this
time.
IMPORTANT
Upper and lower manifolds are NOT in-
terchangeable. However, some machines
may have prewash manifolds that are
identical to the wash arm manifolds. In
these machines, the manifolds are inter-
changeable for easy replacement into the
machine.
• Rotate each end cap counterclockwise to
remove it from the end of its wash arm.
The tether prevents the loss of the cap
during cleaning.
• Clean the inside and outside of the
manifolds, arms and end caps thoroughly
with a brush and warm water.
• Remove the upper and lower auxiliary
rinse and final rinse arms as shown in
Figure 5-1.
IMPORTANT
Upper and lower rinse arms are NOT in-
terchangeable. However, the arms are
designed so that they cannot be rein-
stalled in the wrong location.
• Clean the inside and outside of the arms
thoroughly using a brush and warm water.
• Allow all arms, manifolds and end caps to
air dry thoroughly overnight.
• Reassemble all components into the dish-
washer before operation.

5.3 Exterior cleaning (as required)

CAUTION
When cleaning the exterior of the dishwasher,
be sure to follow these guidelines:
• A commercial stainless steel cleaner can
be used on exterior body panels. Follow
the manufacturer's directions.
• Meiko strongly recommends using
detergent, instead of a stainless steel
cleaner, when cleaning the control panel
of the unit. These chemicals can damage
the gauges, lights and labels.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or pads when
cleaning the exterior of the dishwasher.
These can scratch the surface of the unit.
WARNING!
Ensure that detergents and stainless
steel cleaners are kept out of the
interior of the dishwasher. If the interior
of the unit requires cleaning, refer to
the deliming procedures (Section 5.4).
