Dishes & interior of dishwasher yellow or brown

Rust spots on stainless steel -OR-

Dark spots on flatware-stainless steel, silver plate, or sterling

Iron or manganese in water

Allowing salty or acidic foods such as mayonnaise, vinegar, fruit juices, salad dressings or milk products to remain on flatware.

Undissolved detergent coming in contact with flatware

Temporary remedy:

1.Set empty dishwasher for a “onewash” cycle.

2.Start dishwasher and unlatch door to stop it when it has filled for the wash part of the cycle.

3.Add l/4 to l/2 cup (120 to 240 mL) of citric acid crystals (usually available in drugstores).

4.Close and latch door to complete

cycle.

Permanent solution: Install an iron or manganese filter to home water supply.

Rinse flatware that is to stand for several hours before washing. Clean stained items with silver polish and re-wash. DO not put stainless steel and silver flatware in the same silverware basket compartment. Direct contact between these metals can cause permanent damage to the silver.

Remove spots with silver polish. Avoid spilling concentrated detergent on wet flatware.
