• Do not add detergent.

 

 

• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it on the bottom

 

 

rack of the dishwasher.

 

 

• Run the dishes through an entire wash program.

 

 

If the vinegar rinse doesn't work, repeat the above process

 

 

substituting 1/4 cup citric acid crystals (available at most drug

 

 

stores) for the vinegar.

 

 

Wiping with a damp cloth should remove spots from metal

 

 

items. For sterling silver and silver plated flatware, rub with a

 

 

towel, or use a good cream silver polish.

Check filter system to be sure it is clean and properly installed.

Does the rinse aid dispenser need to be filled? (NOTE: Use only in hard water areas).

Check that the water valve is fully opened. Make sure that the water pressure is between 18 and 176 psi.

Check the filter inlet valve.

Dishwasher detergent

Change the dishwasher detergent if the result is still unsatisfactory.

Check that you loaded the items according to the instructions

on pages 5-6. Do not overload. Make sure water can reach all soiled surfaces.

and make sure that no grains of dirt, etc., retard the rotation of the wash arms. If necessary, clear the obstruction, refit the arms and check that they rotate freely.

Make sure that the holes in the wash arms are not blocked by dirt. If necessary, clear the holes with a pointed object.
