washer through a complete cycle.
Caused by using too much detergent in soft water. This milky film- like surface cannot be removed because metal ions have been removed from the surface of the glass. To prevent this problem, use less deter- gent when your water supply is naturally soft or when you use a water softener. Also, wash glass~rare in shortest cycle that will get them clean.
e
Tea or coffee stains in cups can be removed by hand using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups of warm water.

Rough handling of dishes ~vill cause chipping. Load tvith care. SL)at ciishes firmly in the racks so they cannot be dislodgt’d, Glasses must lean against the pins, and the rim of the glass should rest on the bottom of the rack.

NEVER in the lower rack. (See section on loading)
Water remaining in the sump at end of cycle is normal. This water
clean and keeps the pump primed and the water seal moist and active.
