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).
