FOOD SOILS REMAIN
ON DISHES
NOTE:
If the dishwasher
is not used daily,
you can run a rinse cycle
with
the partial
load
until a
full load
is ready
to run, or use the Top Rack Only
option
(on some models)
for partial
loads.
Run a vinegar
rinse through
the dishwasher
by putting
2 cups (500
mL) of white
vinegar
in an
upright
glass
measuring
cup in the lower
rack.
Run a normal
cycle
with
the Heated
Dry option
turned
off.
Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher
may
not be draining
properly,
see "WATER
REMAINS
IN THE TUB/WILL
NOT
DRAIN"
in "Troubleshooting."
NOTES:
Surging
sounds
can occur
periodically
throughout
the cycle
while
the dishwasher
is draining.
Normal
water
valve
hissing may
be heard
periodically.
A normal
snap sound
may
be heard
when the detergent
dispenser
opens during
the cycle
and when the door
is opened
at the end of the cycle.
Improper
installation
will affect
noise levels.
Be sure the filters
are properly
installed.
