Dishwasher emits a bad smell, especially when first opened after standing.

Safety first: Wear gloves when cleaning internal parts.

• Clean filters and sump: Remove and thoroughly clean the Maidaid tank filter, strainer, and sump area to remove trapped food and grease.
• Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with an approved dishwasher cleaner or descaler.
• Check drain hose: Ensure the drain hose has a proper high loop to prevent backflow from the sink and that there is no stagnant water.
• Regular maintenance: Implement a weekly cleaning routine for commercial use, including filter cleaning and periodic descaling.
