WHAT TO DO
•Use only automatic dishwasher
detergents to avoid sudsing.
•To remove suds from the tub, open the
dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add 1
gallon of cold water to the tub. Close the
door until it locks into place. Pump out
water by pressing START/RESET, then
immediately press START/RESET again.
Repeat if necessary.
•Always wipe up rinse agent spills
immediately.
•Some detergents contain colorant
(pigment or dyes) that will discolor the
tub interior with extended use. Check
thedetergent cup for signs of any
discoloration. If cup is discolored,
change to detergent without any colorant.
•Raise the water heater temperature to
120°F.
•Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out
more slowly than usual? If so, wait until
pressure is normal before using your
dishwasher.
•Clean the air gap.
•Make sure large dishware does not
block the detergent dispenser or the
wash arms.
•To remove stubborn spots from glassware:
1 Remove all metal utensils from the
dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the POT PANS cycle and
SPEED DRY option.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run
for 26 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.
