PROBLEM
Spoffing and
_mlng(cont.)
Silica film
or etching
(silica film is
a white milky
looking
deposit;
etching is a
cloudy film)
CAUSE SOLUTION
Use of ineffective
detergents
Insufficient fill due to low
Water pressure
For effective cleaning, use fresh dishwasher
detergent and store it tightly closed in a cool,
dry place. Throw away any lumpy detergent.
Your home water pressure should be 20 to
120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher
fill. You may need a booster pump on the water
supply if the pressure is too low.
Rinse agent not used
A water chemical reac-
tion with certain types of
glassware - usually
caused by some combina-
tion of soft or softened
water, alkaline washing
solutions, insufficient
rinsing, excessive
detergent, and over-
loading the dishwasher
Fill the rinse agent dispenser. See the instruc-
tions on page 15.
You may have to hand wash these items to
eliminate this problem completely. Silica film
and etching are permanent marks and cannot
be removed. To slow down the reaction, you
can try using as little detergent as possible and
a liquid rinse agent. Also, underload the dish-
washer to allow thorough rinsing, and use the
Energy Saver Dry option.
