SOLUTION

Water temperature should be at least 140°F (60°C). Set water heater thermostat to o higher setting. Run water at

sink until hot before starting and/or use HI-TEMP WASH Option.

Make sure dishes and glassware are loaded so spray reaches all surfaces and items drain properly. Do not ov- erload. Do not nest items

Fill rinse aid dispenser.

Allow more time when using AIR DRY Option, or use HEAT DRY. Plastic items may need towel drying.

Use care In loading alumlnum utensils, especially a

llghtwelght loll container. Place so they do not touch dlsher. Remove black marks with plastic scouring pad and a mild abrasive cleanser.

Do not overload. Load glasses in the top rack only. Load

between prongs, not over them. Glasses loaded over prongs will not be supported and may chip or break.

Check for rainbow hue on glosses. A rainbow hue is the first sign of etching (corrosion of glass). Reduce the amount

of dishwasher detergent. Use o detergent with a lower phosphorus content.

If water pressure is low do not use water for other purposes

while dishwasher is running [to assure correct water fills). Make sure dishes and glassware are loaded properly to

assure adequate rinsing and draining. Do not overload.

Temporary remedy:

1.Set empty dishwasher for o “one wash” cycle.

2.Start dishwasher and unlatch door to stop it when it has filled for the wash port of the cycle.

3 Add % to % cup (120 to 240 ml) of citric acid crystals

(usually available in drugstores).

4 Close and latch door to completecycle

Permanent solution: Install an tron or manganese filter to home water SUDDIV.

Rinse flatware that is to stand for several hours before washing (use Rinse & Hold]. Clean stained items with silver polish and re-wash. Do not put stalnlets steel and sliver

Hatware In the same sllverware basket compartment. Direct contact between these metals can cause perma- nent damage to the sliver.

Remove spots with silver polish. Avoid spilling concentrated detergent on wet flatware.

Allow dishwasher to complete cycle.

Some plumbing codes require use of a drain air gap be-

tween an undercounter dishwasher and the drain system of the house. The air gap is usually located above the sink or on the top of the counter near the dishwasher to prevent the possibility of water backing up from the drain into the

dishwasher due to o plugged drain. The drain air gap is

NOT a part of the dishwasher and is NOT covered by the

dishwasher warranty. The drain air gap should be kept clean to insure proper draining of the dishwasher.
