PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

 

 

SP~S AND FILMING

Spotting can be caused by all these things:

ON GLASSES AND

● Extremely hard water. (See page 12.)

FLATWARE

 

 

● Low inlet water temperature. (To test, see page 12. )

 

● Overloading the dishwasher.

 

. Improper loading. (See pages 14-16. )

 

● Old or damp powder detergent.

 

● Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 12. )

 

● Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 12. )

 

● Too little detergent. (See page 13. )

 

Due to varying local water conditions and personal preferences, 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 spots and film from glassware:

 

1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

 

2. DO NOT ADD DETERGENT.

 

3. Select P~S & PANS cycle, LIGHT SOIL and ENERGY SAVER drying.

 

4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run until “40” minutes to end of cycle is displayed.

 

5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of

 

the dishwasher.

 

6. Close the door and allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle.

 

If vinegar rinse doesn’t work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60ml) of citric

 

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

 

doesn’t, call Hotpoint 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:’

GLASSWARE

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.

 

 

YELLOW OR BROWN

Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup

FILM

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 sofiener 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.
