Does Not Drain
Properly
°
If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer,
make sure the disposer
is empty.
•
Check to see if the knockout
plug has been
removed from inside the food waste
disposer
inlet.

Fill
•
Is water supply turned on?
•
Check your home circuit breaker or fuse
box.
•
Check inlet hose for a kink.

Dishwasher
Has an Odor
•
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long

running dishwasher at once.
•
There will be a "new" smell when first
installed. This is normal.
•
Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Stains on Tub Interior
Washing
large amounts
of dishware
with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange
appearance.
This will not affect
performance
and will gradually
fade over
time. Pre-rinsing
will reduce the chance of
staining.
Using
Heat Dry Off option will
lessen staining.
Removing
Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a
number of reasons.
(See Glassware/Flatware
Spotted
or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup,
spots and film, clean using the following
instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses
in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the POTS & PANS cycle. Close and
latch door.
4. Allow dishwasher
to run for 25 minutes to
reach the main wash portion of cycle.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions
persist, a home water
softener
should be considered.
