Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may beplaced--face down--in the top rack. The top rack ishandy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force ofwater and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS.

DISHES DON'T DRY * Make sure inlet water temperature is correct. (See page 6.)

• Unload the bottom rack first. Water from dishes in the top rack may be spilling intothe bottom rack.

• Check for improper loading. Dishes shouldn't nest together. Avoid overloading.

• Check the rinse agent dispenser to see that it's not empty.

UNCLEAN DISHES • Check inlet water temperature, It should be at least l20°F. (Totest, s_c page 6Q

SPOTS AND FILMING Spotting can be caused by all these things:

ON GLASSES AND • Extremely hard water. (See page 6.)FLATWARE• Low inlet water temperature. (Totest, see page 6.)

• Overloading the dishwasher.

• Improper loading. (See pages 8 and 9.)

• Old or damp powder detergent.

• Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 6.)

• Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 6.)

• Too little detergent. (See page 7.)

Due to varying local water conditions and personal preferences, try several brands ofdetergents to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergentmay help reduce filming.

To remove spots and film from glassware:

1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

2. DO NOT ADD DETERGENT.

3. Select NORMAL WASH cycle.

4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 15 to 20 minutes. The dishwasher willnow be in the main wash.

5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom ofthe dishwasher.

6. Close the door and allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle.

If vinegar rinse doesn't work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citricacid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals.)

Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a homewater softener.

CLOUDINESS ON If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn't work, the cloudiness is "etchingYGLASSWARE The film cannot be removed.

It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in theshortest cycle that will get them clean.

Water temperature entering dishwasher exceeds 150°F.

YELLOW OR BROWN Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cupFILM bleach and 3 cups warm water.

An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron depositsin water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem.Your water softener company can tell you about the filter.

Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the same load.Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
