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.
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; Failing to follow this instruct may
result in the risk of burns.
•
You have to call a water softener company
for a special filter.
•
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.
•
Clean the detergent from the catch.
•
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.
•
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid
dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause overusing and
lead to overflowing.
Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
•
Make sure the dishwasher is level.
