Solution
Follow loading instructions
on
pages 17-20.
Use the Hi-Temp Wash option and do not
use the Lo-Energy Rinse option. If needed,
turn home water heater up to ensure water
entering dishwasher
is 120°F (49°C) mini-
mum. See recommended
procedure on
page 15.
Use recommended
dishwasher
detergents
only. Follow recommendations
on pages 12
and 13 for amounts; never use less than one
tablespoon per load. Detergent must be fresh
to be effective. Always store detergent in a
cool, dry area.
Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow deter-
gent to sit for several hours in a wet dispen-
ser. Check dispenser for caked detergent.
Clean dispenser when caked detergent is
present.
Remove labels before washing bottles and
cans or wash by hand. See page 16.
Home water pressure should be 20 to 120
psi for proper dishwasher
fill. A booster pump
on the water supply may be necessary if
pressure is too low.
Never use soap or laundry detergents.
Use
recommended
dishwasher
detergents only.
Conditioning
the final rinse water with a liquid
rinse agent helps eliminate spotting and
filming. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse
agent at all times.
