GE GSD950 The Problem Solver, Spots And, Spotting can be caused by all these things, Filming On

	THE PROBLEM SOLVER
	(continued)
PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE
SPOTS AND	Spotting can be caused by all these things:
FILMING ON	● Extremely hard water. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section),
GLASSES AND
FLATWARE	c Low inlet water temperature. (See How to Test Water Temperature section).
	● Overloading the dishwasher.
	● Improper loading. (See Loading section).
	● Old or damp powder detergent,
	● Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See How to Choose and Use
	Detergent section).
	● Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent section).
	● Too little detergent. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section),
	Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of
	detergents to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher
	detergent may help reduce filming.
	To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:
	1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
	2. Do not add detergent.
	3. Select POTSCRUBBER cycle.
	4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. The dishwasher will
	now be in the main wash.
	5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of
	the dishwasher.
	6. Close the door and allow to complete the cycle.
	If vinegar rinse doesn’t work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric
	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.
CLOUDINESS ON	If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work, the cloudiness is “etching.”
GLASSWA~	The film cannot be removed.
	It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in
	the shortest cycle that will get them clean.
	Water temperature entering dishwasher exceeds 150°F.
CHIPPING OF CHINA	Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
	are secure and can’t jar loose. (See Loading section). Make sure tdl 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.
