Black or gray marks Aluminum items on dishes

Aluminum items should be loaded so that they will not rub against dishes during washing. Throwaway aluminum items should not be washed in the dishwasher because they may break down and cause marking. Aluminum

markings can be removed by using a mild abrasive cleanser.

Stains may gradually fade over time. Regular use of heat- ed drying may cause stains to fade slower. Stains

will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of Quick Rinse cycle or No Heat Dry option will reduce the likelihood of staining.

Dishes must have proper water drainage. Do not over- load. Refer to the "Loading Your Dishwasher" section, pages 7-9. Use a liquid rinse agent to speed drying.

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

Refer tothe "Using the rinse agent dispenser" section, page 11.

Do not use the No Heat Dry option.

Dishes are damaged during cycle

Chipping of dishes Improper loading

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

NOTE: Some types of china and glassware are too deli- cate for automatic dishwashing and should be hand

washed; for example: antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types.
