water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in the
bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the

WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom

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

Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may be

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 of
detergents to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent
may help reduce filming.
To remove spots and film from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2. DO NOTADD DETERGENT.
3. Select NORMAL WASH cycle.
4. Startthe dishwasher and allow to runfor 15to 20 minutes. The dishwasher will
now be in the main wash.
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of
the 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 citric
acid 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 home
water softener.

GLASSWARE The film cannot be removed.
It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the
shortest cycle that will get them clean.
Watertemperature entering dishwasher exceeds 150°F.
YELLOW OR BROWN Teaor coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using asolution of 1/2cup

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