PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
SPOTS AND FILM ON
Spotting
can be caused by all these things:
GLASSES AND
• Extremely
hard water. (See page 4.)
FLATWARE
• Low inlet water temperature.
(To test, see page 4.)
• Overloading
the dishwasher.
• Improper
loading.
(See pages 5-7.)
• Old or damp powder
detergent.
• Rinse aid dispenser
empty. (See page 5.)
• Too little detergent.
(See page 4.)
Due to the varying
local water conditions
and personal
preferences,
try several
brands
of detergents
to find one that gives the best results for you.
To remove the spots and film from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils
from the dishwasher.
2. DO NOT ADD DETERGENT.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher
and allow to run for approximately
20 minutes.
The
dishwasher
will now be in the main wash.
5. Then open the door and pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of white vinegar into the
bottom
of the dishwasher.
6. Close the door and allow the dishwasher
to complete
the cycle.
Using a vinegar rinse more than twice a month? Consider
a home water softener.
CLOUDY GLASSWARE
If vinegar doesn't
remove the cloudiness,
it is "etching."
The film is permanent.
To Prevent:
1. Use less detergent
if you have soft water. (See Detergent
Usage Guide, page 4.)
2. Wash glassware
in the shortest
cycle that will get them clean.
3. Avoid manually
pre-rinsing
the dishes.
4. Lower the temperature
of water entering
the dishwasher
to 140°F.
(See page 4.)
STAINS OR MARKS ON
• Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution
of
DISHES OR TUB
1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water.
• An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware
can be caused by iron
deposits
in the 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.
A product
such as Rover Rust Remover ®will usually remove the stains.
• Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils
in the
same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
• Aluminum
deposits
often leave marks when they rub against other things.
Remove the marks with a mild abrasive
cleanser.
DISHES CHIPPED
• Rough handling
can cause chipping.
Load with care. Make sure glassware
and
china are secure and can't jar loose. (See page 6 for the 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.
• Refer to the chart on page 8 for suggested
items that can and cannot be washed.
