Maintenance
Cleaning and Sterilization
The dishwasher provides sterilization and drying functions to maintain hygiene. Warm water washing effectively sterilizes dishes, and the air drying function helps prevent re-condensation inside the unit.
Figure 4: Illustration of sterilization effectiveness, showing a significant reduction in bacteria after washing.
Test results from a general incorporated association Boken Quality Evaluation Mechanism confirm over 99% reduction in bacteria (tested with one type of bacteria) using high-temperature washing and spray method. Test report issued: May 29, 2020. Report number: 3502000302. Sterilization effect varies depending on the amount of dishes and degree of dirt.
Regular Cleaning
- Regularly clean the filter to ensure optimal performance.
- Wipe down the interior and exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Ensure the drain hose is clear of blockages.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your dishwasher, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Appliance not starting: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power switch is on. Ensure the door is fully closed.
- Dishes not clean: Verify that dishes are loaded correctly and not blocking spray arms. Ensure sufficient detergent is used. Check if the filter is clean.
- Water not filling: Ensure the water tank is adequately filled. Check for any error codes on the display.
- Excessive noise: Some operational noise is normal. However, if the noise is unusually loud or accompanied by strong vibrations, ensure the appliance is on a stable, level surface and not touching other objects. Check for any loose items inside the dishwasher.
- Cloudy glass: This can sometimes be due to hard water or incorrect detergent dosage. Try adjusting detergent amount or using a rinse aid if available.
- Water remaining in the unit: Ensure the drain hose is properly positioned and not kinked or blocked.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact IRIS OHYAMA customer support.
