and the interior detergent Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover. Place the filmed
but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave
silverware and other metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher
on and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware,
dishware, and dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively,
a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after
the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed
The use of a rinse agent such as Cascade
®
Rinse Aid™ may help minimize
a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as
Cascade Complete
®
All-in-1 ActionPacs™ will help prevent film build-up.
