Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can't jar loose. (See page 8 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.
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal. It is clean
water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the air
gap, if you have one. (See page 14.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure disposer is not
clogged.
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add 1
gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by
slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use a detergent that's
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.
Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.
