Cleaning and Aligning the Spray Nozzles
To ensure optimum cleaning performance, it is important
that you examine the spray nozzles periodically and
clean and align them if necessary.
To clean a plugged nozzle, remove it from the spray pipe
and use a small wire brush to free the nozzle of any
obstructions. When you replace the nozzle on the spray
pipe, make sure you align it according to figure on the
following page to maintain a proper spray pattern.
NOTE: The spray nozzles are sized and positioned to
optimize the distribution of cleaning solution in the wash
chamber. If you remove the nozzles make sure you
replace them in the correct position on the appropriate
pipe. Spray nozzle specifications are stamped on the
face of each nozzle, as shown.
