POSSIBLE CAUSE
Muminum utensils often leave marks
when they rub against dishes. Remove marks
with a mild abrasive cleanser.
Water around the outlet on tie tub bottom at the back of the tub
is
normal. It is clean
water. It’s there to keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the
air gap, if you have one. (See Care and Cleaning section).
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If
dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure disposer
is
not
clogged.
Sudsing
detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER
DE~RGENTS
TO AVOID
SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add 1
gallon of
cold
water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by
slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Suds
can
cause unit to
oveflow.
That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.
Wipe up
accidenti
spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out once every week.
This will help keep the
sed moist, and the garbage disposer clear.
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will discolor the tub
interior with extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration.
If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.
