Troubleshooting, Removing Hard Water Spots from Dishes

REMOVING HARD WATER SPOTS FROM DISHES

To remove hard water spots, try the following:

1.Run dishes through a normal wash program.

2.Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the dishwasher.

3.Do not add detergent.

4.Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the bottom rack of the dishwasher.

5.Run the dishes through a Normal wash program.

If this doesn’t work, try the same process with 1/4 cup of citric acid crystals (available at most drug stores) instead of vinegar.

Detergent left in compartment

♦Be careful not to load items so close to the dispenser that the cover will not open to release the detergent.

♦The dispenser is not supposed to open when you use the Rinse program.

♦Your dishwasher detergent should be fresh and stored tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Old or caked detergent should be thrown away because it will not dissolve properly and will leave a gritty residue on the dishware.

♦Wait until you are ready to start the dishwasher to add the detergent.

♦If you are using the Delay program, make sure the dispenser is dry before adding the detergent.

♦The detergent compartment only opens in the main wash programs, not the Rinse program.

Dishwasher leaks

♦Use only unscented, granular automatic dishwasher detergent. Using a liquid detergent could cause oversudsing and leakage.

♦You should always use fresh detergent.

♦The amount of detergent needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Contact your local utility company to learn the water hardness in your area then refer to the chart on page 5 to determine the amount of detergent you should use.

♦Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser. Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.

♦Make sure the dishwasher is level. (See the installation instructions.)

Dishwasher makes unusual noises

♦This usually means that something is not loaded properly. Make sure the dishes are securely in place and that nothing has fallen between the basket tines. Also, place small items in the small items compartment and close the lid. (See page 4.)

Dishwasher runs too long

♦If the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is below 120°, the dishwasher runs longer because it heats the water to the proper temperature for the program selected. Raising your water heater setting may help to shorten the cycle times. If this doesn’t resolve the problem, call the ASKO Advisory Center.
