PROBLEM
SOLUTION
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
NOTES:
•
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
•
Use
the
correct
amount
of
detergent.
Confirm
that the cloudiness
is removable
by soaking
the item in white
vinegar
for 5 minutes.
If
the cloudiness
disappears,
it is due to hard water.
Adjust
the amount
of detergent
and rinse aid.
See "HARD
WATER
(WHITE
RESIDUE ON
DISHWASHER
INTERIOR
OR GLASSWARE)"
in
"Troubleshooting."
If it does not come
clear,
it is due to etching
(see below).
Be sure the incoming
water
temperature
is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp
and Sani Rinse options.
To remove
spotting,
run a vinegar
rinse through
the dishwasher.
•
Wash
and rinse the affected
dishware
and load
into dishwasher.
Remove
all silverware
and
metal
items. Put 2 cups (500
mL) of white
vinegar
in a glass measuring
cup in the lower
rack.
Run a normal
cycle
with
the Heated
Dry option
turned
off. No detergent
is needed.
LEAKING WATER
This is an erosion
of the surface
of the glassware
and can be caused
by a combination
of: water
that is too hot, from
using too much
detergent
with
soft water
or by pre-washing.
Detergent
needs food
soil to act upon.
If etching
has occurred,
the glassware
is permanently
damaged.
To
avoid
further
etching,
adjust
the detergent
amount
to match
the water
hardness,
stop pre-
washing,
and use water
heating
options
only when incoming
water
temperature
is below
120°F
(49°C).
Be sure dishwasher
has been
installed
properly
and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher
to overflow.
Measure
the detergent
accurately
and use only
detergents
designed
for use in a dishwasher.
Less detergent
is needed
in soft water.
Try another
brand
of detergent
if sudsing
continues.
To avoid
rinse aid
leaking
from
the dispenser,
be sure the lid is securely
attached
and avoid
overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED
NOTES:
•
High
iron content
in the water
can discolor
the tub.
•
Tomato-based
foods
can discolor
the tub or dishware.
•
A citrus-based
cleaner
can be used to clean.
