Plastics
A water chemical
reaction with certain
types of glassware.
Usually caused by some
combination of soft or
softened water, alkaline
washing solutions, in-
sufficient rinsing, over-
loading the dishwasher,
and heat of drying.
SOLUTION
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Never use soap or
laundry detergents. Add more dishwasher detergent to increase
amount of suds-inhibitors.
See "Loading Your Dishwasher," pages 12-15.
Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi for proper dishwasher
fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be necessary if pressure
is too low.
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. See ''How Much
Detergent To Use," page 17. Never use less than one tablespoon per
toad. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Aiways store it in a cool,
dry area, preferably in an airtight container.
Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several
hours in a wet dispenser. Have dispenser checked to make sure it is
working properly.
Turn home water heater up so water entering dishwasher is [20°F
(49°C) minimum. See recommended procedure ''Sure-Temp™ Water
Heating,' page 6.
Remove lower wash arm and turn upside down. Check single
stainless steel spray nozzle and nine water jets located on underside
of wash arm. See page 18. Check to make sure nozzles are not
blocked.
Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse agent helps
eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the dispenser full with a rinse
agent, such as JET-DRY® , at all times. May be necessary to install a
water softener.
Turn home water heater up so water entering dishwasher is 120°F
{49°C} minimum. See recommended procedure ''Sure-Temp™ Water
Heating," page 6.
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.
See "'How Much Detergent To Use," page 17. Heavy soil and/or hard
water generally require extra detergent.
Detergent should be fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an
airtight container. Discard lumpy detergent.
Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi for proper dishwasher
fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be necessary if pressure
is too low.
Turn home water heater up so water entering dishwasher is 120°F
(49°C) minimum, See recommended procedure ''Sure-Temp™ Water
Heating," page 6.
Dishes must have proper water drainage. Do not overload. Follow
instructions for loading in dishwasher Use and Care Guide. Use a
liquid rinse agent to speed draining.
Some plastics, due to material, may need to be towel dried.
It may not be possible to prevent problem, except by hand washing.
To retard this process, use a minimum amount of detergent but not less
than one tablespoon per load. Use a liquid rinse agent and underload
the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Remove glasses from
dishwasher before dry cycle. Silica film and etching are permanent
and cannot be removed. Use HEATED DRY OFF.
