Care and maintenance instructions Drain pump The pump can be accessed from inside the dishwasher. 1. Cut the power to the dishwasher by unplugging the unit from the power outlet. 2. Remove the coarse filter and pipe section. 3. Remove the small yellow drain pump access cover at the left of the bottom drain (see illustration below). NOTE! Do not forget to reinstall the drain pump access cover. Lower spray arm Holes and bearings can sometimes become blocked. 1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up to release it. 2. Remove any debris using a needle, toothpick, or some other similar pointed device. The spray arms also have holes underneath. 4. By inserting your finger into the hole, you can turn the pump blades to release anything blocking the pump. 5. Reinstall the access cover and filters. 6. Plug the machine in again. Upper spray arm The upper basket must be removed before the upper spray arm can be released. 1. Pull out the upper basket and turn the basket catch on each runner outward (see illustration). The basket can now be removed. If the dishwasher still does not start and a whirring sound is heard, the overflow protection has been triggered. • Shut off the water. • Unplug the unit from the power outlet. • Call the Customer Care Center. 2. Loosen the upper spray arm in the same manner as the lower spray arm and clean it. Customer Care Center 21 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
