Black or gray marks
on dishes
Orange stains on
plastic dishes or
dishwasher interior
Aluminum items
Large amounts of tomato-
based foods in dishes placed
in the dishwasher
Aluminum items should be loaded so that they will not
rub against dishes during washing. Throwaway aluminum
items should not be washed in the dishwasher because
they may break down and cause marking. Aluminum
markings can be removed by using a mild abrasive
cleanser.
Stains may gradually fade over time. Regular use of
heated drying may cause stains to fade slower. Stains
will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of
Quick Rinse cycle or No Heat Dry option will reduce the
likelihood of staining.
