POSSIBLE C.$USE AND REMEDY
Spotting can be caused by all these things:
c Extremely hard water. [See page 6.)
. Low inlet water temperature. (To test, see page 6.)
* Overloading the dishwasher.
s Improper loading. (See pages 8 and 9.)
c 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 detergen[
may help reduce filming.
To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:
1. Remove till metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select Normtil Wash cycle.
4. Sttirt the dishwasher :md allow to run for 15 to 20 minutes. The dishwasher \vill
now be in the main wash.
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500m1) of white vinegm 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 1/4 cup {60ml) ot’citric
acid crystals instead of ~incgar.
(Most drugstores carry citric acid cryst~ls. If yours
doesn’t. call GE Factory Scr\icc.)
Using a vinegar or citric ticid crystal rinse more than twice a month? consider Q
home water softener.
If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work. the cloudiness is “etching.’-
The film cannot be removed.
Itcan be prevented: Use less detergent if you hove soft water. Wash glassware in
the shortest cycle that \vill get them clean.
W~ter temperature entering Liishwasher exceeds 150°F.
