PROBLEM

Spotting and filming (continued)

Cycle takes extremely long time

Dishes do not dry completely

Silica film or etching

(silica film is a white iridescent

deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Black or gray marks on dishes

White spots on cookware with

non-stick finish

CAUSE

Incorrect amount of detergent

Use of ineffective

detergents

Insufficient fill due to

low water pressure

Water temperature is too low

Dishwasher is not

installed properly

Dishes do not drain

properly

Plastics

Water chemical reaction with certain

types of glassware - usually caused by some combination of

soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and heat of drying.

Aluminum items

touching dishes

Seasoning removed by dishwasher detergents

SOLUTION

See the "Using the Dispensers" section for amount. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Use fresh detergent. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Discard lumpy detergent.

Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be neces- sary if pressure is too low.

If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is 120°F (49°C) minimum. See the "To check water temperature" section.

Undercounter dishwashers require ad- equate enclosure for proper operation. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

Dishes must have proper water drainage. Do not overload. Follow instructions in the

"Troubleshooting" section. Use a liquid rinse agent to speed draining.

Some plastics, due to material, may need to be towel dried.

It may not be possible to prevent problem, except by hand washing. To slow this process, use a minimum amount of deter- gent but not less than 1 tablespoon per load. Use a liquid rinse agent and under- load the dishwasher to allow thorough

rinsing. Silica film and etching are perma- nent and cannot be removed. Use the Air

Dry option.

Load aluminum items so that they will not rub against dishes during washing. Do not wash throwaway aluminum items in the dishwasher because they may break down and cause marking. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleanser.

Reseason cookware after dishwasher washing.
