POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a
solution of YZcup bleach and 3 cups warm water.
An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused
by iron deposits in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the
only way to correct this problem. Your water softener company can
tell you about the filter.
Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in
the same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glass-
ware and china are secure and can't jar loose. (See pages 12 & 13 for
correct way to load glassware.) Make sure tall glasses and stemware
will
clear the top of the tub when you push the rack into the dishwasher.
Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use
CHINA CRYSTAL cycle for
fine china.
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is
normal. It is clean water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain
problem. Clean the air gap, if you have one. (See page 16.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure
disposer is not clogged.
See SYSTEMS MONITOR, pages 6 and Z
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers.
USE ONLY
AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER
DETERGENTS
TO AVOID SUDSING.
To
remove suds from the tub:
Open the dishwasher. Let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the
dishwasher. Pump out water by touching "CLEAR RESET" pad.
Repeat, if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use a
detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead
to overflowing. (Page 10 tells you how to clean accidental spills of
rinse agents.)
Shut off power from Dishwasher at fuse or circuit breaker. Wait 5
seconds and restore power to dishwasher. Try input panel again.
