|
|
Dishwasher leaks | • Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation |
|
| Instructions.) |
|
| • Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent | |
| carefully 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. (pg. 15) |
|
| • Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 9). |
|
| • To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is |
|
| securely attached. |
|
|
| |
Indicator lights flashing | • All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running | |
| cycle or delay. |
|
| • The currently selected cycle flashes if an attempt is made to change | |
| the cycle after cycle |
|
| • The locked indicator flashes if a pad is pressed while the child lock is | |
| enabled. (pg. 20) |

|
Glasses are cloudy/spotted | • Select Hi Temp option. |
|
| • Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C). | |
| • Always use a rinse aid. |
|
| • Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white | |
| vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due | |
| to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water | |
| hardness (pg. 15). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a | |
| high quality brand. |
|
| • If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the | |
| surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too |
|
| hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent | |
| needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware | |
| is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the |
|
| detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and | |
| use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is | |
| below 120° F (49° C). |

Dishware is chipped | • Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other | |
| (pgs. |
|
| • Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not |
|
| recommended. (pg. 7) |
|
| • Do not load glasses over the tines. |
|
