PROBLEM
YELLOW OR BROWN FILM
CHIPPING OF CHINA
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution of YZcup bleach and 3 cups warm water.
An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron deposits in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem. Your water softener company can tell you about the filter.
Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glass- ware and china are secure and can’t jar loose. (See pages 12 & 13 for correct way to load glassware.) Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the rack into the dishwasher. Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use CHINA CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
SMALL AMOUNT OF | Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is |

SUDS IN THE TUB | Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY |
| AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING. |
| To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds |
| evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the |
| dishwasher. Pump out water by touching “CLEARRESET” pad. |
| Repeat, if necessary. |
DISHWASHER LEAKS | Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a |
| detergent that’s designed for automatic dishwashers. |
| Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead |
| to overflowing. (Page 10 tells you how to clean accidental spills of |
| rinse agents.) |
CONTROL PANEL | Shut off power from Dishwasher at fuse or circuit breaker. Wait 5 |
