Too much

detergent,

glassware-

especially

in soft water

etching of glass

 

 

Dishes not dry

Non-heat drying

No rinse aid

Plastic items

SUGGESTED REMEDY

If vinegar or citric acid rinse doesn't remove film, the cloudiness is "etching". This is permanent. To prevent etching, use the least amount (one teaspoon) of recommended dishwasher detergent if you have soft water.

Use a good quality of dishwashing detergent and rinse aid. Do not overload the machine. Water should circulate freely to assure adequate rinsing and draining.

Use drying without heat.

Be sure to select heated drying for best results. Allow more drying time when using non-heat drying.

Fill rinse aid dispenser. Rinse aid helps dishes to dry faster. (See page 8) NOTE: Use rinse aid with hard water only.

Certain plastic materials are difficult to dry. Plastics may need towel drying.

Water feed line

Water supply

Do not overload or nest items. Be sure all surfaces drain well.

Load items with concave bases so as much water as possible can run off. Unload the lower rack first. Water from dishes in

the upper rack may be spilling onto the lower rack.

If the door is opened during the heated dry cycle, the heating element comes back on after the door is closed. If the

dishwasher door is opened immediately after the dry cycle is completed and then shut again, the vent door is closed, trapping warm humid air. It is best then to leave door open slightly.

Do not overload. Load between prongs, not over them. Glasses loaded over prongs are not supported and may break. Make sure glassware is secure. Always use upper rack for delicate items. Use the light/china cycle.

Utensils may not be secure or may have dropped from the rack. Water may cause utensils to rattles. Make sure

everything is securely placed in dishwasher.

Check that door is firmly closed.

Check that dishwasher is on.

Check to see that the water feed line is not crimped.

Be sure water is available and turned on.
