Dishware Stained or Discolored
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the
stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2
cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of
warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow
or brown film. A special filter installed in the
water supply line will correct this problem.
(See Removing Spots and Film.)
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other items.
Load properly.

Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not
operating dishwasher at once.

the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing

Using too much detergent in soft or
softened water causes etching that cannot
be removed.
Adjust the amount of detergent based on
the water hardness. (Check Detergent
Chart.)

140° F.
Use No Heat Dry option.
