Clean and Maintain your Samsung Dishwasher

Filtering System

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter. It is important that you clean the filters regularly to maintain optimal operation.

Clean spills on the surface of the dishwasher immediately. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust.

CAUTION:

• Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, alcohol, or other chemical substances. These materials may discolour the surface of the dishwasher and cause stains.
• The dishwasher has electric parts inside. Do not spray water directly onto the dishwasher. Protect electrical components from water.
• For a stainless-steel door panel, use a stainless steel cleaner for home appliances and a clean, soft cloth.

Clean the interior of the dishwasher on a regular basis to remove any first or food particles. Wipe inside the dishwasher and inside the door with a wet dishcloth.

CAUTION:

• Do not remove the front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher). The seal keeps the inner side of the dishwasher sealed.
• Use a damp cloth to remove lime scale or grease deposits inside the dishwasher. Alternatively, apply some detergent and run an empty cycle using the highest rinse temperature.

To prevent the nozzles from being clogged or if the nozzles are clogged, remove and clean. Use caution when removing the nozzles as they may break.

Top nozzle:

1. Open the door, and then pull out the upper rack. The top nozzle is visible on the top.

2. Turn counter clockwise and remove the nozzle cap, then remove the nozzle.

3. Unclog and clean the nozzle.

4. Reinsert the nozzle and tighten the cap clockwise.

5. Rotate the nozzle by hand to make sure the nozzle is engaged correctly.

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water residue can clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the middle spray arm, hold the nut and rotate the arm clockwise to remove it. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in warm and soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth.

Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces as they will scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
