| Due to varying local water conditions and personal preferences, try several brands of | |

|
|
| 4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for U to 20 minutes. The dishwasher will now | |
|
|
| be in the main wash. | |
|
|
| 5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500d) 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: ReWat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60d) of citric | |
|
|

|
|
| doesn’t, cdl Hotpoint Factory Service.) | |

| 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 deposifi | |
|
|
| in water. A special falter in the water supply line is the ody way to correct this problem. | |
|
|
| Your water softener company can tell you about the filter. | |

|
| Silver polish will usually remove this stain. | |
