Troubleshooting
Dishes are not drying quickly enough.
Ensure items are spaced out to allow for maximum airflow. Check that the rack is not overloaded, which can hinder circulation. Also, ensure the kitchen area is well-ventilated.
Water is pooling underneath the dish rack.
Confirm that the dish rack is placed directly on a sloped draining board or an absorbent kitchen mat designed to collect water. If using a mat, ensure it is capable of absorbing the volume of water.
The dish rack slides around on the counter.
Ensure the surface beneath the dish rack is clean and dry. If sliding persists, consider placing a non-slip mat or rubber grippers underneath the rack's feet.
Cutlery basket appears dirty or stained.
Remove the cutlery basket from the main unit. Wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a brush if needed. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
