washer

stick finish
Odor in the

Chipping of

CAUSE
Rinse agent not used
SOLUTION
Keep rinse agent dispenser filled,
See page 11.
A water chemical reaction
with certain types of
glassware-usually caused
by some combination of
soft or softened water,
alkaline washing solutions,
insufficient rinsing, exces-
sive detergent, and over-
loading the dishwasher.
It may not be possible to prevent problems,
except by hand washing. To slow this
process, use a minimum amount of deter-
gent but not less than one tablespoon per
load. Use a liquid rinse aid and underload
the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing.
Silica film and etching are permanent and
cannot be removed. Use the ENERGY
SAVER DRY option.
Aluminum items touching
dishes
Load aluminum pieces so that they will not
rub against dishes during washing. Do not
wash throw-away aluminum items in the
dishwasher. Remove aluminum markings
by using a mild abrasive cleanser.
High iron content in water
supply
Remove food soil from dishes. Add 1
teaspoon to I tablespoon of citricacid
crystals to the Main Wash compartment of
detergent dispenser. Wash dishes with a
NORMAL cycle without detergent. Follow
with a NORMAL cycle with detergent. If
treatment is needed more often than every
other month, the installation of an iron
removal unit is recommended.
Seasoning removed by
dishwasher detergents
Re-season cookware after dishwasher
washing.
Dishes only washed every Run a RINSE HOLD cycle at least once or
two to three days twice a day until a full load is accumulated.
Improper loading Load dishes and glasses so they are stable
and do not strike together from washing
action. Moving racks in and out smoothly
will also minimize chipping.
NOTE: Some types of china and glassware
are too delicate for automatic dishwashing
and should be hand-washed; for example:
antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar
items.
