Operating Instructions

Follow these simple steps for optimal cleaning results:

  1. Ensure Dishwasher is Empty: Make sure there are no dishes, silverware, or food debris inside the dishwasher.
  2. Add Tablet: Remove one tablet from its wrapper. Place the tablet in the detergent dispenser tray.
  3. Run Cycle: Close the detergent dispenser and the dishwasher door. Run the dishwasher on a "Normal" wash cycle. Do not use a quick wash or rinse cycle for cleaning.

For best results and to maintain a clean, odor-free dishwasher, use one or two tablets per month as part of your regular maintenance routine.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your dishwasher. In addition to monthly cleaning with ACTIVE tablets, consider the following:

  • Filter Cleaning: Most dishwashers have a filter near the bottom drain. If possible, remove this filter and clean it by hand to remove any trapped food particles and residue. This prevents clogs and ensures proper drainage.
  • Heavy Buildup: If your dishwasher has significant mineral buildup or has not been cleaned in a long time, it may require an immediate second cleaning cycle. Perform two separate cleaning cycles with a single tablet each. Adding more cleaner in one cycle can result in excess foam, which may affect the dishwasher's function.
  • Monitoring During Cycle: To ensure proper cleaning, especially with heavy buildup, monitor your dishwasher during the cycle. If you observe any excessive foam or water leaking from the machine, stop the dishwasher and allow the foam and water to drain before resuming.

Troubleshooting

While ACTIVE Dishwasher Cleaner is designed for effective cleaning, here are some common issues and tips:

  • Excessive Foam: If you notice excessive foam during a cleaning cycle, it might be due to using too much cleaner or a pre-existing residue. Stop the cycle, allow foam to dissipate, and ensure you are using only one tablet per cycle.
  • Residue After Cleaning: For dishwashers with significant hard water buildup or grime, a single cleaning cycle might not be enough. Repeat the cleaning process with a fresh tablet. You may also need to manually scrub internal surfaces after the cycle to remove loosened residue.
  • Persistent Odors: If odors persist after cleaning, ensure you are regularly cleaning the dishwasher filter. Also, verify that the dishwasher is completely empty before running the cleaning cycle.
