Spotting and filming

Hard water

Use maximum recommended amount of dishwasher

detergent.
You may need a home water softener.
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 bottom

rack.

Run dishes through an entire wash program. If the

vinegar rinse does not work, repeat process substituting

¼ cup of citric acid crystals (available at most drug stores)

for the vinegar.

•

Wiping metal items with a damp cloth should remove spots.

For sterling and silver plated flatware, rub with a towel, or

use a good cream silver polish.

Garbage disposal or sink trap full

Run garbage disposal to eliminate food and obstructions in

sink. Make sure sink drains properly.

Check hot water supply temperature. Minimum

recommended incoming temperature to the dishwasher is

10ºF.

Make sure water valve is fully open. Make sure that water

pressure is between 0 and 10psi and flow rate is a

minimum of 1.0 gpm.

detergent

Use only correct amount of dishwasher detergent according

to water hardness (see page xx) and the wash program

selected. Fill dispenser only when ready to start the

dishwasher. Do not use old or caked detergent. Store

dishwasher detergent in dry place and in a closed container.

Change the dishwasher detergent if results are still poor.

Items not loaded properly or

overloaded

Make sure dishwasher is loaded according to instructions

(see page xx). Do not overload. Make sure spray can reach

all soiled surfaces.

Spray arms do not rotate properly

Make sure that both spray arms rotate freely. Make sure that

clear any obstructions
Make sure holes in spray arms are not blocked. If

necessary, clear holes with a pointed object and rinse under

water.
