PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

 

 

 

 

 

 

SP~S AND FILMING

Spotting can be caused by all these things:

 

 

ON GLASSES AND

● Extremely hard water. (Seepage 6.)

 

 

FLATWARE

 

 

● Low inlet water temperature. (To test, see page 6.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

● Overloading the dishwasher.

 

 

 

● Improper loading. (See pages 8 and 9.)

 

 

 

● Old or damp powder detergent.

 

 

 

. Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 6.)

 

 

 

● Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 6.)

 

 

 

● Too little detergent. (See page 7.)

 

 

 

Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of detergents

 

 

 

to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help

 

 

 

reduce filming.

 

 

 

To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:

 

 

 

1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

 

 

 

2. Do not add detergent.

 

 

 

3. Select P~S & PANS cycle.

 

 

 

4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 15 to 20 minutes. The dishwasher will now

 

 

 

be in the main wash.

 

 

 

5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of

 

 

 

the dishwasher.

 

 

 

6. Close the door and allow to complete the cycle.

 

 

 

If vinegar rinse doesn’t work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric

 

 

 

acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours

 

 

 

doesn’t, call Hotpoint Factory Service.)

 

 

 

Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a home

 

 

 

water softener.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CLOUDINESS ON

If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work, the cloudiness is “etching:’ The film

 

 

GLASSWARE

cannot be removed.

 

 

 

It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the

 

 

 

shortest cycle that will get them clean.

 

 

 

Water temperature entering dishwasher exceeds 150°F.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHIPPING OF CHINA

Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china

 

 

 

are secure and can’t jar loose. (See pages 8 and 9 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.
