DISHWASHER WON’T FILL

• Check to see if the water supply is turned on.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the unit

and start again.

DISHWASHER HAS AN ODOR

• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can

create an odor. Use Rinse cycle.

• There will be a “new” smell when first

installed. This is normal.

• Check to see if unit is draining properly (See

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

NOTE

If these conditions persist, a home water
softener should be considered.

To remove build-up, spots and film,
clean using the following instructions:

1 Load clean dishes and glasses in normal

manner. Do not load any metal utensils or

silverware.

2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Press

START/CANCEL pad and close door.

4 Allow dishwasher to run until it begins the

second fill. Open door and pour 2 cups of

white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

5 Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

Hard water can cause lime deposit build-up on the

interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may

also get spots and film for a number of reasons (See

Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy).
