Dishes in the TURBOZONETM wash area are not clean
Are the dishes loaded to face the TURBOZONETM spray
jets? Load soiled dish surfaces to face the back of the
dishwasher toward the TURBOZONETM spray jets. Tilt the
dishes toward the back so water can drain from
surfaces, and the lower spray arm can wash the item
from below.
NOTE: Loaded items may shift when dish racks are
pushed into the dishwasher. Make sure dishes do not
interfere with the spray arms, water feed tube, or
TURBOZONETM spray jets.
Are items loaded so they do not overlap? Load items
only one row deep without any overlap so that the
TURBOZONETM spray jets can reach all surfaces.
Are the TURBOZONETM spray jets free to rotate? Make
sure that no loaded items are interfering with the spray
jets' rotation.
Spots and stains on dishes "
Spotting and filming on dishes
Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in
your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a
liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming.
Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.
Is the water temperature too low? For best
dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it
enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent?
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer
to the "Detergent" section. Detergent must be fresh to
be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy
soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be
20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher
fill. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a
white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for
occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too
often could damage your dishwasher.
1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy
saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal
items.
2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or
dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom
rack.
3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing
cycle using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent.
Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-
colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)
Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with
certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by
some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline
washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the
dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be
possible to avoid the problem, except by hand
washing.
To slow this process use a minimum amount of
detergent per load. Refer to the "Detergent" section.
Use a liquid rinse aid and underload the dishwasher to
allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are
permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use heated
drying.
White spots on cookware with nonstick finish
Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware
seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the
dishwasher.
Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior
Does your water have high iron content? Rewash
dishes using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals
added to the covered section of the detergent
dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Normal
wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more
often than every other month, the installation of an iron
removal unit is recommended.
Black or gray marks on dishes
Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?
Disposable aluminum items can break down in the
dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these
items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild
abrasive cleaner.
