alease review the Problem Solution Guide below.
Hard water

full
No rinse aid
Water not hot enough
Too little water
Incorrect use of dishwasher
detergent
Items not loaded properly
Spotting and filming
Use maximum recommended amount of dish-
washer 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 2 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 1/4cup of citric acid crys-
tals (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.
Run garbage disposal to eliminate food and
obstructions in sink. Make sure sink drains
properly.
Make sure rinse aid dispenser is full.
Check hot water supply temperature. Minimum
recommended incoming temperature to the
dishwasher is 120OF.
Make sure water valve is fully open. Make sure
that water pressure is between 20 and 120psi
and flow rate is a minimum of 1.0 gpm.
Use only correct amount of dishwasher deter-
gent according to water hardness (see page
12) and the wash program selected. Fill dis-
penser only when ready to start the dish-
washer. 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.
Make sure dishwasher is loaded according to
instructions starting on page 8. Do not over-
load. Make sure spray can reach all soiled
su traces.
