CAUSE SOLUTION
Slowdown of spray arm
due to high suds
Use only recommended dishwasher deter-
gents, not soap or laundry detergents. Do not
overfill the rinse agent dispenser. Wipe up any
spills before running a cycle.
Improper loading
Follow the loading instructions on pages 8-10.
Insufficient fill due to
low water pressure
Your home water pressure should be 20 to
120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for a proper dish-
washer fill. You may need a booster pump on
the water supply ifthe pressure is too low.
Use of incorrect, too
little, or ineffective
detergent
Use recommended dishwasher detergents
and specified amounts only (see pages 13 and
14 for amounts), but never use less than 1 tbs
(15 mL). For effective cleaning, use only fresh
detergent and store it tightly closed in a cool,
dry place.
Detergent cakes
in dispenser
Add detergent just before starting the dish-
washer. Use fresh detergent and remove any
caked detergent before filling the dispenser.
When using Delay Wash, make sure the
dispenser is dry before adding detergent.

entering the dishwasher is at least 120°F
