WHAT TO DO
• Use a rinse agent to reduce spots
and prevent new film buildup.
• To remove stubborn spots on glassware:
1 Remove all metal utensils from the
dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the NORMAL WASH cycle
and HEATED DRY option.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run
until the main wash.
5 Open the door and pour 2 cups
(500 ml) of white vinegar into the
bottom of the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and allow to complete
the cycle. If vinegar rinse doesn't
work: Repeat as above, except use
1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals
instead of vinegar.
• This is called etching and is permanent.
To prevent this from happening, use less
detergent if you have soft water. Wash
glassware in the shortest cycle that will get
them clean.
• Lower the water heater temperature to
120°F.
• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive
cleaner.
• Depending on Model, select HEATED
DRY or SMART DRY.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser.
• To restart the wash cycle, press the selected
wash button.
• Run tap until water is hot prior to starting
dishwasher cycle.
• Assure inlet water temperature is at least
120°F.
• Depending on your model, select WATER
TEMP HIGH and HEATED DRY or
WATER TEMP SANI and HEATED DRY
options.
• Pause the cycle before opening the door.
