What To Do
To remove stubborn spots
from glassware:
1 Remove all metal
utensils from the
dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the longest cycle.
4 Start the dishwasher and
allow to run for 18 to 22
minutes. Dishwasher will
now be in the main wash.
5 Open the door and pour
2 cups (500 ml) of white
vinegar into the bottom of
the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and allow
to complete the cycle.
If vinegar rinse doesn't
work: Repeat as above,
except use 1/4 cup (60 ml)
of citric acid crystals
instead of vinegar.
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.
