Chipping of Dishes Improper loading

Run a Rinse & Hold cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is accu- mulated.

Load dishes and glasses so that they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Moving racks in and out smoothly will also minimize chipping.

NOTE: Some types of china and glassware are too delicate for automatic dishwashing and should be hand- washed; for example: antiques, feather-edged crystal and similar types.

Removing spots and film

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent prevents water from forming droplets and drying as spots or streaks.

To remove spots and film on dishes and glasses, or hard water film on the interior of the dishwasher, you may use white vinegar with the following procedure:

1.Load clean dishes and glasses in dish- washer in regular manner. Do not load silverware or other metals in the dish- washer.

2.Close and latch door.

3.Select the Heavy Wash cycle and Air Dry option. Do not use detergent.

4.Allow dishwasher to run through the first wash. When washer has filled for main wash portion of cycle, unlatch and open door.

5.Pour 2 cups of household vinegar into the dishwasher.

6.Close and latch door. Allow dishwasher to finish the cycle.
