CLOUDY OR SPOTTED | NOTES: | |
DISHWARE (AND HARD | ■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting. | |
WATER SOLUTION) | ||
| ||
| ■ Use the correct amount of detergent. | |
| Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the | |
| cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See | |
| (“HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE]”) in | |
| “Troubleshooting.” If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below). | |
| Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49ºC). | |
| Try using the Hi Temp and Sani Rinse options. | |
| To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher. | |
| ■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and | |
| metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. | |
| Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed. | |
|

ETCHING (PERMANENT | This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water | |
CLOUDINESS) | that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by | |
| food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid | |
| further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop | |
| use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49ºC). | |
|
| |
LEAKING WATER | Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level. | |
| Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only | |
| detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another | |
| brand of detergent if sudsing continues. | |
| To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid | |
| overfilling. | |
