Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:

1.Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.

2.Do not add detergent.

3.Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.

4.Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will be off.

5.Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

6.Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

NOTE

If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
