SOLVING COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

Brown stains

on dishes and
dishwasher

interior

High iron content
in water supply

Remove by washing dishes (after food soil
has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to
1 tablespoon of citric acid crystals added to

covered section of detergent dispenser. Do

not use detergent. Follow with a LOW

ENERGY/CHINA cycle and detergent. If

treatment is needed more often than every
other month, we recommend installation of
an iron removal unit.

Orange

stains

on

dishwasher

Interior

Large amounts of

tomato-based foods
on dishes placed in
the dishwasher

Stains will not affect dishwasher perfor­
mance and can gradually fade over time.

Regular use of RINSE/WASH LATER
reduces the chance of staining. 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.

Odor In the
dishwasher

Dishes only washed
every two to three

days

Run a RINSE/WASH LATER cycle at least

once or twice a day until a full load is
accumulated.

Chipping of
dishes

Improper loading

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, feather-edged crystal, and similar

items.

Removing spots and film

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a

liquid rinse agent. A rinse

agent prevents water from
forming droplets and drying as
spots or streaks.

To remove spots and film on

dishes arid glasses, or hard water film/lime
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher, you
may use white vinegar with the following
procedure:

1. Load clean dishes and glasses in dish­

washer (see pages 6-9). Do not load
silverware or other metals in the dish­
washer.

2. Put 2 cups of household vinegar (in a

glass or dishwasher safe measuring cup)
standing upright in the bottom rack.

3. Close and latch the door.
4. Select the NORMAL cycle and AIR DRY

option. Do not use detergent. Allow the
dishwasher to complete the entire cycle.

NOTE: This cleaning procedure is intended

for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid.

Excessive use may damage your dishwasher.
