Improper loading.
Insufficient water pressure.
Insufficient detergent.
Rinse aid dispenser is empty.
Extremely hard water
The best way to eliminate spots on your dishes is to install a whole house water softener in your home. If a
water softener is already installed or you do not plan on installing one, try adding an "Extra Rinse" option
as part of the wash cycle to help minimize this condition. To add an Extra Rinse to the cycle, select the wash
cycle and then press extra rinse.
NOTE: Selecting "Extra Rinse" will increase cycle times and water usage.
To remove hard water build up in the tub
Remove all dishes, silverware and the silverware holder from the dishwasher. Only the racks should remain
in the tub.
Fill a measuring cup with white vinegar, approximately 14~17 ounces (400~500mL), and place the measur-
ing cup in the lower rack.
Run a "Normal" cycle and select "Extra Rinse" and "Sanitary" then close the door.
DO NOT USE DETERGENT
NOTE: Make sure to let the dishwasher complete the entire cycle. This cleaning method should only be
done as needed.
