Removing spots and film
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse
agent prevents water from
forming droplets and drying as
spots or streaks.
To remove spots and film on dishes and glasses, or hard water film/ lime buildup on the interior of the dish- washer, you may use white vinegar with the following procedure:
1.Load clean dishes and glasses in dish- washer. Do not load silverware or other metals in the dishwasher.
2.Put 2 cups of household vinegar (in a glass or dishwasher safe measuring cup) standing upright in the bottom rack.
3.Close and latch the door.
4.Select the Normal Wash cycle and
No Heat Dry option. Do not use detergent. Allow the dishwasher to complete the entire cycle.
NOTE: This cleaning procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid. Excessive use may damage your dishwasher.
