To remove hard water spots, try a vinegar rinse:
•Wash and rinse load as usual.
• Remove all metal items from dishwasher.
• Do not add detergent.
• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it on the bottom
rack of the dishwasher.
• Run the dishes through an entire wash program.
If the vinegar rinse doesn't work, repeat the above process
substituting
1/4 cup citric acid crystals (available at most drug
stores) for the vinegar.
Wiping with a damp cloth should remove spots from metal
items. For sterling silver and silver plated flatware, rub with a
towel, or use a good cream silver polish.
Check filter system to be sure it is clean and properly installed.
Does the rinse aid dispenser need to be filled? (NOTE:
Use
only in hard water areas).
Check that the water valve is fully opened.
Make sure that the
water
pressure
is between
18 and 176 psi.
Check the filter
inlet valve.

amount
of dishwasher
detergent
according
to the hardness
of the water
and the wash program
you have selected.
Do not use
old
or caked detergent.
Store
the dishwasher
detergent
in a dry place and in a closed
container.
Change
the dishwasher
detergent
if the result is still
unsatisfactory.
Check that you loaded
the items according
to the instructions
on pages 5-6.

Make sure water
can reach all
soiled surfaces.
Check that both wash arms can rotate
freely
and that items do
not obstruct
the movement
of the wash arms.

and make sure that no grains of dirt,
etc., retard the rotation
of
the wash arms.
If necessary,

by

If necessary,
clear the holes with a pointed
