Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 15to 20 minutes. The dishwasherwill now
be in the main wash.
Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of
the dishwasher.
Close the door and allow to complete the cycle.
If vinegar rinse doesn't work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4cup (60 ml) of citric
acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours
doesn't, call GE Factory Service.)

Always use the top rack for delicate items.
