CLOUDINESS)
LEAKINGWATER
TUB IS DISCOLORED
NOTES:
= Liquid rinse aid is necessaryfordrying and to reduce spotting.
m Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If
the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid.
See "HARD WATER(WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHERINTERIOROR GLASSWARE)"in
"Troubleshooting." If it does not come clear, it isdue to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try usingthe High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
m Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and
metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL)of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack.
Run a normal cycle with the SmartDry
TM
option turned off. No detergent is needed.
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water
that istoo hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent
needs food soil to act upon. If etch ing has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To
avoid further etching, adjustthe detergent amountto match the water hardness, stop pre-
washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F
(49°C).
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another
brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid
overfilling.
