dispensers and spray arm is not
blocked by large dishes.
To remove spots from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils from the
dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Set the longest cycle.

for 18 to 22 minutes. The unit will
now be in the main wash.

white vinegar into the bottom of the
dishwasher.
