Too much foam in the wash solution	The detergent dosage should be decreased. Detergent in use must be
	designated for an automatic dishwasher.
White spots, streaks or film on dishware	Check for correct dosage of detergent. Ensure Rinse Aid dispenser
	is not empty, consider increasing dosage. See section regarding
	Rinse Aid dispenser. If present, check properly functioning
	household water softener.

	program, if wash program not started immediately after loading. Do
	not wash in direct contact with silver-place in separate sections of
	the cutlery basket. Do not leave in a damp dishwasher for long
	periods - drying by hand is best. Check household water softener is
	functioning correctly.
Tarnishing of silverware	Do not leave covered with salt or acid foodstuffs. Use Rinse & Hold
	program if wash program not started immediately after loading. Do not
	allow undissolved detergent to come into contact with silver,otherwise
	black spots occur. Keep silver separate from other metals. Wash
	with a good detergent containing tarnish inhibitor. Check household
	water softener is functioning correctly.
Tarnishing of aluminum	Usually caused by hot water - tarnish is not injurious in any way, but
	is unsightly. If your preference is to wash such items in the dish-
	washer versus by hand, remove these items before the final hot rinse
	has begun.
Colored aluminum	Color can be removed by hot alkali. These items not recommended
	for washing in an automatic dishwasher.
Crystal glass, Glasses & other glassware	Stack carefully to avoid rubbing and jabbing. Excessively softened
	water can damage glass. Check household water softener is
	functioning correctly. Susceptible to damage by hot water check
	suitability for use in a dishwasher.
Glaze decorations	Some items especially antiques, are not safe in a dishwasher. Wash a
	sample piece of suspect ware for a few weeks to check suitability.
	Short washing cycles and lower temperatures will help minimize
	problems and keep decorations brighter.
Handles	Some glued on handles will not be safe at high temperatures. Bone,
	wood or plastic can be susceptible to hot water. Test one piece by
	washing for a few weeks.
	Pieces of cutlery produced from two types of metal are susceptible to
	electrolytic corrosion. Knives produced with stainless steel blades
	and silver handles can corrode if left in the dishwasher.
Plastics	Thermosetting plastics can dull or crack in hot water.
	Thermoplastics can melt. Special care may be needed. Most plastic
	items will not dry well due to the nature of the material.
	Some hand drying may be necessary.
