KitchenAid KUDH24SE Dishes do not dry completely, PROBLEM Spottingand filmingcont, Silicafilm

PROBLEM

Spottingand filming(cont.)

CAUSE

Use of ineffective

detergents

Insufficient fill due to low

water pressure

SOLUTION

For effective cleaning, use fresh dishwasher detergent and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Throw away any lumpy detergent.

Your home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138-828 kPa) for a proper dishwasher fill. You may need a booster pump on the water supply if the pressure is too low.

	detergent, and over-
	loading the dishwasher.

Fill the rinse agent dispenser. See the instruc- tions on page 13.

You may have to hand wash these items to eliminate this problem completely. Silica film and etching are permanent marks and cannot be removed. To slow down the reaction, you can try using as little detergent as possible and a liquid rinse agent. Also, underload the dish- washer to allow thorough rinsing, and use the Energy Saver Dry option.
