What To Do
This is called etching and
•
is permanent. To prevent
this from happening, use
less detergent if you have
soft water. Wash glassware
in the shortest cycle that
will get them clean.
Lower the water heater
•
temperature.
Remove marks with a mild,
•
abrasive cleaner.
Remove the stain by hand,
•
using a solution of 1/2 cup
bleach and 3 cups warm
water.
WARNING
Before cleaning interior
wait at least 20 minutes
after a cycle for the
heating element to cool
down. Failure to do so can
result in burns.
A special filter in the water
•
supply line is the only way
to correct this problem.
Contact a water softener
company.
To clean the interior, apply
•
dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge. Wear
rubber gloves. Do not use
any type of cleanser other
than dishwasher detergent
because it may cause
foaming or sudsing.
