Spotting and filming

Hard water:
Use the maximum recommended amount
(3 tablespoons) of dishwasher detergent.To
remove hard water spots, try a vinegar rinse:

• Wash and rinse load as usual.
• Remove all metal items from dishwasher.
• Do not add detergent.
• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and

set it on the bottom rack of the dishwasher.

• Run the dishes through an entire wash

program.

If the vinegar rinse doesn’t work, repeat the
above process substituting 1/4 cup citric acid
crystals (available at most drug stores) for the
vinegar.

Wiping with a damp cloth should remove
spots from metal items. For sterling silver
and silver plated flatware, rub with a towel,
or use a good cream silver polish.

Filter system:
Check filter system to be sure it is clean and
properly installed.
