SOLUTION

Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to 1 table- spoon of citric acid crystals added to covered section of detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a LIGHT WASH 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 performance and can gradually fade over time. Reguhr use of RINSE 81HOLD reduces the chance of staining. lf air in the dishwasher is heated dur- ing the “dry”portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower than if the AIR DRY option is selected.

Run a RINSE 8 HOLD cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is accumubted.

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 diihwashing and should bs hand washed; for example: antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar items.
