SOLUTION
Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has
been removed) with 1 teaspoon to 1 table-
spoon of citric acid crystals added to covered
section of detergent dispenser. Do not use

detergent. If treatment is needed more often
than every other month, we recommend
installation of an iron removal unit.

Improper loading
Run a Rinse & Hold cycle at least once or
twice a day until a full load is accumulated.
Load dishes and glasses so they are stable

action. Moving racks in and out slowly will also
minimize chipping.

are too delicate for automatic dishwashing
and should be hand washed; for example:
antiques, feather-edged crystal, and
similar items.
