WHAT TO DO
To remove spots from glassware:
1. Take out all metal utensils out of the
dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Choose the longest cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow it to
run for about 18 to 22 minutes, then it
will be in the main wash.
5. Open the door to pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of the
dishwasher.
6. Close the door and let the dishwasher
complete the cycle. If the vinegar
does not work: Repeat as above,
except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric
acid crystals instead of vinegar.
• Use less detergent if you have soft
water and select a shortest cycle to
wash the glassware and to get them
clean.
• Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach
and 3 cups warm water to remove the
stains by hand.
WARNING : You have to wait for
20 minutes after a cycle to let the
heating elements cool down before
cleaning interior; otherwise, burns
will happen.
• You have to call a water softener
company for a special fi lter.
• To clean the interior, use a damp
sponge with dishwasher detergent
and wear rubber gloves. Never use
any other cleaner than dishwasher
detergent for the risk of foaming or
suds.
• Turn the Dial to OFF position and slide
the door latch to the left.
• Re-loading the dishes properly.
• There is some steam coming through
the vent by the door latch during
drying and water draining.
• Use a mild abrasive cleaner to
eliminate those marks.
• A small amount of clean water around
the outlet on the tub bottom keeps
the water seal lubricated.
