How toload your dishwasher How to load the TOP RACK

the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the

center sends water out over the dishes to wash the items
in the upper rack. A spray armin the top washes down.

Make sure to place tall items to the outside so the upper
wash arm is not blocked.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS.

The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.

Don't block itor load tall things nextto it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or

dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may

be placed--face down--in the top rack. The top rack is
handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force of

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

SPOTSAND FILMING Spotting can be caused byall these things:
ON GLASSES AND • Extremely hardwater. (See page5.)

FLATWARE

• Low inlet watertemperature. (Totest, see page 5.)

i • Overloading the dishwasher.

l

• Improper loading. (See pages 7 and8.)

• Old or damppowder detergent.

• Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 5.)

• Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 5.)

! • Too little detergent. (See page 6.)

Local water conditions andpersonal preferences vary. Try several brands of detergents
to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help

reduce filming.
To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:

1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

2. Do not add detergent.

3. Select HEAVY WASH cycle.

4. Start the dishwasher and allow to runfor 15to20 minutes. The dishwasher will now
be in the main wash.

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

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

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

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

CLOUDINESS ON If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn't work, the cloudiness is "etching:' The film

GLASSWARE cannot be removed.

Etching can be caused by: (1) using too much detergent or (2) water temperature
over 150°F.

CHIPPING OF CHINA Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china

are secure and can't jar loose. (See page 7 for correct way to load glassware.) Make
sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the rack into

the dishwasher.
Always use the top rack for delicate items.
