WHAT TO DO
•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.
•Remove marks with a mild, abrasive
cleaner.
•Remove the stain by hand, using a
solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups
warm water.
WARNING
Before cleaning interior wait at least 20
minutes after a cycle for the heating
element to cool down. Failure to do so
can result in burns.
•A special filter in the water supply line is
the only way to correct this problem.
Contact a water softener company.
•To clean the interior, apply dishwasher
detergent to a damp sponge. Wear
rubber gloves. Do not use any type of
cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
•Make sure inlet water temperature is
correct.
•Select HI TEMP RINSE and/or
HEATED DRY Option.
•Check the rinse agent dispenser.
•Call for service.
•Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Remove any other appliances from
the circuit.
•Try resetting the START/RESET pad.
•Steam comes through the vent by the
door latch during drying and when water
is being pumped out.
