Before You Call for Service

Problem

May Be Caused By

What to Do

Marks, discoloration or

other stains

Aluminum utensils

rubbing against items

during wash cycle

Be sure aluminum utensils, especially light weight, foil-

type pans, do not touch dishes.

Lipstick and tea can be

difficult to remove

Change to a dish washing detergent with bleach.

Yellow or brown marks

Iron or manganese in

water

To remove spots, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Temporary solution:
Pour a teaspoon to tablespoon of citric acid crystals

in place of the pre-wash detergent in the detergent

dispenser. Follow this pre-wash with a full detergent

wash. Use the Heavy Wash cycle.
Permanent solution: Install an iron removal system in

the water supply.

Washing copper with

sterling silver

Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash

copper utensils in the same load. Silver polish will

usually remove this type of stain.

Tea or coffee (tannic acid)

stains

Remove tea or coffee stains by hand using a solution

of ½ cup bleach and three cups warm water. Do not

use on sterling silver or silver plate.

Discoloration of stainless

steel, silver plate

Allowing salty or acidic

foods to remain on

flatware

Rinse flatware that is to stand several hours before

washing.

Silver contacting stainless

steel or aluminum

Do not put flatware made of different materials in the

same silverware basket compartment. Direct contact

to stainless steel can cause permanent damage to

silver.

Distortion of plastics

Plastic item not

dishwasher safe

Do not wash plastic items in dishwasher that are not

“dishwasher safe.”

Marks on melamine and

plastics

Porous material

Use a special cleaner for plastic.
