POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution
of 1% cup bleach and 3 cups warm water.
An overall yellowor brown film
on dishes or glassware can be caused by
iron deposits in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only
way to correct this problem. Your water softener company can tell you
about the filter.
Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the
same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
.
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware
and china are secure and can't jar loose. (See page 8 for correct way to load
glassware.) Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub
when you push the rack into the dishwasher.
Use CHIF@-CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal.
It is clean water. It's thereto keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem.
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure disposer is
not clogged.
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING.
To removesuds from
the tub:
Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate.
Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher.
Pump out water by slowly turning the control dial untiI a drain period is
reached.
Repeat, if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use a
detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to
overflowing. (Page 6 tells you how to clean accidental spills of rinse
agents.)
