Step 1

Check & clean food debris in the filters and spray arms. (Where applicable)

Step 2

Excessive Food should be removed before placing in the Dishwasher.

Step 3

Make sure the Customer knows the proper way to load  the Dishwasher and avoiding the load in the racks from stopping the spray arms.

Step 4

Make sure the water coming into the Dishwasher is approximately 120 ° (not to exceed 140 °)

Place in test mode, and activate the fill step, let the unit fill till the water covers the bottom of the tub, and check the temperature of the water with a temp probe on your meter.

If the temperature is too cold or takes a very long time to increase, make sure the supply line to the Dishwasher is plumbed into the cold-water line or the hot-water line, which is what it should be.

If the Water heater is located a long-distance form the unit, the customer may have to run the water at the kitchen sink (closest to the Dishwasher), to get the hot water to start sooner.

Step 5

Advise the Customer of the importance of using rinse aid
