acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours

 

 

doesn’t, call GE Factory Service).

 

 

Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a home

 

 

water softener.

CLOUD~ESS ON

 

If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work, the cloudiness is “etching.”
