Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Check dispenser for caked detergent. Clean dispenser when caked deter- gent is present.

Remove labels before washing bottles and cans or wash by hand. Refer to the "Tips for washing special items" section, page 18.

Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi

(138-828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be necessary if pressure is too tow.

Never use soap or laundry detergents. Use recom- mended dishwasher detergents only.

Spots or stains on dishes

Spotting and filming

Silica film or etching

(silica film is a white iridescent deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Hard water or high mineral content in water

Water temperature is too low

Use of incorrect detergents Incorrect amount of detergent

Use of ineffective detergents

Insufficient fill caused by low water pressure

A water chemical reaction with certain types of glass- ware. Usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading

the dishwasher, and heat of drying.

Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse agent helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the dispenser full with a rinse agent at all times.

Use the Water Heat option. If needed, turn home

water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is 120°F (49°C) minimum. Refer to the "Water temperature tips" section page 12.

Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

Refer to the "Using the detergent dispenser" section, page 11. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Detergent should be fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. Discard lumpy detergent. Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138-828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply may be necessary if pressure is too low.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a vinegar rinse.

1.Wash and rinse as usual using the No Heat Dry option.

2.Remove all metal items.

3.Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a container on the bottom rack.

4.Run dishwasher through complete washing cycle. Vinegar will mix with wash water.

It may not be possible to prevent problem, except by hand washing. To slow this process, use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tablespoon per load. Use a liquid rinse agent and underload the dish- washer to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Use the No Heat Dry option.
