CMA Dishwasher Deliming
If you started to notice white or grayish crusty spots building up on a CMA Dishmachine unit, then it’s probably mineral build-up. It’s important to delime your CMA dishwasher in order to get rid of these. Otherwise, mineral deposits can build up on your dishes, heating elements, spray arms and other internal components, which can cause a unit to be less efficient or malfunction.
