WATER CONDITIONS

Hard Water containing ealcimn minerals can

cause a lime film or deposit on the tub and dishes. You may first notice this as "cloudy" glasses,

To eonflrm if the film is due to hard water, soak a glass approximately 5 minutes in undiluted white vinegar. Rinse and dry. If the film is removed, it is

due to hard water (if not removed, see Soft Water).

To correct:

1.Adjust the detergent amount to the degree of water hardness. (See pg. 5)

2.Check water temperatnre. (See pg. 6)

3.Use a rinse aid to improve the sheeting action of the water. (See pg. 5)

To remove film frr_m the dishwasher: (Tr_j one of the following.)

1.A damp cloth and mild seonring powder,

2.A hal_cup white vinegar in a Normal cycle with detergent in the MAIN WASH cnp only,.

Soft Water can promote etching if too much

detergent is nsed, itemsareprerinsedorthewatertem- perature is too high. It is a permanent fihn which pits or erodes the surface of the glass.

The beginning stages can be identified by a "rainbow" look -- shades of blue, purple, brown or pink when the

glass is held at an angle to the light. In advanced stages the surface appears frosted, spotted or cloudy.

Etching can happen in any dishwasher and there is no relationship to the cost or quality- of the glass.

To prevent:

1.Adjnst the detergent amount to water hardness. (See pg. 5)

2.Adjust the water temperature. (See pg. 6)

3.Don't prerinse. This removes food softs and aggra- vates etching.

Rust Minerals canturn the dishes or tub inte-

rior a brown, red or black color if iron or manganese is in the water.

To prevent:

1.Drain your home's water heater once a year to flush away any mineral deposits.

2.Check with a water treatment company like Cnlligan or Kinetico to see if a filter is needed in the home.

To remove:

(Do not use this method on metal items.)

1.Use a rust removing compound like RoVer Rust Remover (available from Maytag Parts Distributors by using Part No. 57961).

2. Select the Normal cycle. Add 1/2 cup RoVer Rust Remover to the tub bottom and fill the MAIN

WASH cup with detergent. Let the dishwasher corn-

plete the cycle. Refer to the rust remover package for more information.

The only permanent solution is to install special filters which can remove iron and manganese from the water.
