What To Do
•
Consult with dishware
•
Install an iron filter in the
water supply line.
®
•
Use Jet-Dry
rinse agent to
remove spots and prevent
new film buildup.
•
To remove stubborn spots
and pre-existing film 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.
•
Load items so that they do
not touch.
