.--A-.-.-l.--.Faljl-a. Etching - permanent tllmlng which cannot be removed

Improper loading

‘-,-- w.w,c,_l,lnr__ Too much detergent in soft water

Inadequate rinsing

Do not overload. Load glasses in the top rack only. Load

between prongs, not over them. Glasses loaded over prongs will not be supported and may chip or break.

Check for rainbow hue on glasses. A rainbow hue is the first sign of etching (corrosion of glass). Reduce the amount

of dishwasher detergent. Use a detergent with a lower phosphorus content.

If water pressure is low do not use water for other purposes

while dishwasher is running (to assure correct water fills). Make sure dishes and glassware are loaded properly to

assure adequate rinsing and draining. Do not overload.
