Whirlpool 915 warranty Removing spots and film

PROBLEM

White spots on cookware with non-stick finish

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Orange stains on dishwasher interior

Odor in the dishwasher

Chipping of dishes

CAUSE

Seasoning removed by dishwasher detergents

High iron content in water supply

Large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher

Dishes only washed every 2 to 3 days

Improper loading

SOLUTION

Reseason cookware after dishwasher washing.

Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to

1 tablespoon of citric acid crystals added to covered section of detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Light cycle and detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, we recom- mend installation of an iron removal unit.

Stains will not affect dishwasher perfor- mance and can gradually fade over time. Regular use of Rinse-Wash Later reduces the chance of staining. If air in the dish- washer is heated during the “dry”portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower than if the Air Dry option is selected.

Run a Rinse-Wash Later cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is accumulated.

Load dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Moving racks in and out slowly will also minimize chipping.

NOTE: Some types of china and glassware are too delicate for automatic dishwashing and should be hand washed; for example: antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar items.
