Water Conditions ...............................................

Hard Water contains minerals that can cause a film or deposit on the dishwasher tub and dishes. You may notice this as "cloudy" glasses. To confirm if the film is removable, soak a glass for approximately 5 minute

undiluted white vinegar. Rinse and dry. If the film is removed, it is probably due to hard water (if not remo_ see Soft Water).

To correct:

1.Adjust the detergent amount to the degree of water hardness. (See pg. 6)

2.Check the water temperature. (See pg. 6)

3.Use a rinse aid to improve the sheeting action of the water. (See pg. 7)

4.See page 14 for further information if, after following the above guidelines, wash results are still not satis- factory.

To remove film from the dishwasher:

(T_ one of the following.)

1.A damp cloth and mild scouring powder.

2.Run a Light cycle with detergent in the MAIN W/ cup only. Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the in the bottom of the tub after the first fill.

Soft Water can promote etching if too much detergent is used, items are prerinsed or the water temperature i high. Etching is a permanent pitting or eroding of the surface of the glassware.

The beginning stages can be identified by a "rainbow" effect-- shades of blue, purple, brown or pink when the glass is held at an angle to the light. In advanced stages the surface appears frosted, spotted or cloudy,

Etching can happen in any dishwasher and there is no relationship to the cost or quality of the glass.

To prevent:

1. Adjust the detergent amount to water hardness.

pg. 6)

2.Adjust the water temperature. (See pg. 6)

3.Do not prerinse. This aggravates etching.

Rust Minerals (iron and manganese) can turn dishes or the tub interior a brown, red or black color.

Toprevent:

1.Drain your home's water heater once a year to flush away any mineral deposits.

2.Check with a water treatment company like Culligan or Kinetico to see if a filter is needed in the home.

To remove:

(Do not use this method on metal items.)

I. Use a rust removing compound like RoVer Remover* (available from an authorized M Parts Retailer by using Part No. 057961). Do n, RoVer with dishwashing detergent.

2.Fill both detergent cups with RoVer. Cornp Light wash cycle. Follow with a shorter wash using dishwasher detergent.

3.The only permanent solution is to install spec ters which can remove iron and manganese fr( water.
