If vinegar or citric acid rinse doesn't remove film, the
cloudiness is "etching". This is permanent. To prevent
etching, use the least amount (one teaspoon) of recommended
dishwasher detergent if you have soft water.
Use a good quality of dishwashing detergent and rinse aid.
Do not overload the machine. Water should circulate freely to
assure adequate rinsing and draining.
Use drying without heat.
Be sure to select heated drying for best results. Allow more
drying time when using non-heat drying.
Fill rinse aid dispenser. Rinse aid helps dishes to dry faster.
(See page 8) NOTE: Use rinse aid with hard water only.
Certain plastic materials are difficult to dry. Plastics may need
towel drying.
Do not overload or nest items. Be sure all surfaces drain well.
Load items with concave bases so as much water as possible
can run off. Unload the lower rack first. Water from dishes in
the upper rack may be spilling onto the lower rack.
If the door is opened during the heated dry cycle, the heating
element comes back on after the door is closed. If the
dishwasher door is opened immediately after the dry cycle is
completed and then shut again, the vent door is closed,
trapping warm humid air. It is best then to leave door open
slightly.
Do not overload. Load between prongs, not over them.
Glasses loaded over prongs are not supported and may break.
Make sure glassware is secure. Always use upper rack for
delicate items. Use the light/china cycle.
Utensils may not be secure or may have dropped from the
rack. Water may cause utensils to rattles. Make sure
everything is securely placed in dishwasher.
Check that door is firmly closed.
Check that dishwasher is on.
Check to see that the water feed line is not crimped.
Be sure water is available and turned on.
