interior

Odor in the dishwasher

Chipping of dishes

CAUSE

High iron content in water supply

Large amounts of tomato-based foods

on dishes placed in the dishwasher

Dishes only washed every 2-3 days

Improper loading

SOLUTION

Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to

1 tablespoon of citric acid crystals added to covered section of detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Low Energy/China cycle and detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, we recommend installation of an iron removal unit.

Stains will not affect dishwasher perfor- mance and can gradually fade over time. Regular use of Rinse/Wash Later reduces the chance of staining. If air in the dish- washer is heated during the "dry" portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower than if the Air Dry option is selected.

Run a Rinse/Wash Later cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is accumu- lated.

Load dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Moving racks in and out slowly 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 items.

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/lime buildup on the interior of the dishwasher, you may use white vinegar with the following procedure:

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

2.Put 2 cups of household vinegar (in a glass or dishwasher safe measuring cup) standing upright in the bottom rack.

3.Close and latch the door.

4.Select the Normal cycle and Air Dry option. Do not use detergent. Allow the dishwasher to complete the entire cycle.

NOTE: This cleaning procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid. Excessive use may damage your dishwasher.
