PROBLEM
Spotting and Filming
Insufficient fill caused by
low water pressure
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.

Plastics
Some plastics, due to material, may need to be towel
dried.
Silica Film or Etching (Silica
Film is a White Iridescent
Deposit; Etching is a Cloudy
Film)
Black or Gray Marks on
Dishes
Brown Stains on
Dinnerware and
Dishwasher Interior
A water chemical reaction
with certain types of
glassware. Usually
caused by some combi-
nation of soft or softened
water, alkaline washing
solutions, insufficient
rinsing, overloading the
dishwasher, and heat of
drying.
Aluminum markings
High iron content in water
supply
It may not be possible to prevent problem, except by
hand washing. To retard this process, use a minimum
amount of detergent but not less than one tablespoon
per load. Use a liquid rinse agent and underload the
dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Remove
glasses from dishwasher before dry cycle. Silica film
and etching are permanent and cannot be removed.
Aluminum pieces should be loaded so that they will
not rub against dinnerware during washing. Throw-
away aluminum items should not be dishwasher
washed because they may break down and cause
marking. Aluminum markings can be removed by
using a mild abrasive cleanser.
Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been
removed) with 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of citric
acid crystals added to Main Wash compartment of de-
tergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a
LIGHT/CHINA WASH CYCLE with detergent. If treat-
ment is needed more often than every other month,
the installation of an iron removal unit is
recommended.

Chipping of Dishware
Improper loading
Load dishes and glasses so that they are stable and do
not strike together from washing action. (Note: Some
types of china and glassware are too delicate for auto-
Matic dishwashing and should be hand washed; for
example: antiques, featheredged and similar types.)
Moving racks in and out smoothly will aiso minimize
chipping.
