Troubleshooting

Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-coloured deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tsp (5g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed.

White spots on cookware with non-stick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Re-season cookware after washing in the dishwasher.

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes using 1-3tsp (5-15g) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Eco wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often then every other month, the installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

Black or grey marks on dishes

Are aluminium items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminium items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Handwash these items. Remove aluminium markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dished placed in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle will reduce the likelihood of staining.

DISHES DO NOT DRY COMPLETELY

Dishes are not dry

•Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

•Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

•Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the “Rinse Aid Dispenser” section.

DISHES ARE DAMAGED DURING A CYCLE

Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and glasses so they are stable and to not strike together from washing action.

NOTE:

Antiques, feather-edged crystal and similar types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand.

SCRATCHES

Minor scratches on the surface of the sink or dishwasher

Scouring with a mild abrasive kitchen cleaner in the direction of the grain lines will blend scratches into the finish of the sink.
