SOLUTION
Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to 1 table- spoon of citric acid crystals added to covered section of detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Light Wash cycle and detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, we recommend installation of an iron removal unit.
Stains will not affect dishwasher performance and can gradually fade over time. Regular use of Rinse & Hold reduces the chance of stain- ing. If air in the dishwasher is heated during the “dry”portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower than if the Air Dry option is selected.
Run a Rinse & Hold 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,
