PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
SPOTS AND FILMING Spotting can be caused by all these things:
ON GLASSES AND • Extremely hard water. (See page 5.)
FLATWARE
• Low inlet water temperature. (Totest, see page 5.)
i • Overloading the dishwasher.
l
• Improper loading. (See pages 7 and 8.)
• Old or damp powder detergent.
• Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 5.)
• Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 5.)
! • Too little detergent. (See page 6.)
Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of detergents
to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help
reduce filming.
To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select HEAVY WASH cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 15 to 20 minutes. The dishwasher will now
be in the main wash.
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 rnl) 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. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals.)
Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a home
water softener.
CLOUDINESS ON If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn't work, the cloudiness is "etching:' The film
GLASSWARE cannot be removed.
Etching can be caused by: (1) using too much detergent or (2) water temperature
over 150°F.
CHIPPING OF CHINA Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can't jar loose. (See page 7 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.
