PROBLEM
Chipping of
dishes
Black or gray
marks on
dishes
CAUSE
Improper loading
Aluminum items
touching dishes
SOLUTION
Load dishes and glasses so they are stable
and do not strike together while washing.
Moving the racks in and out smoothly will also
minimize chipping.
NOTE: Hand wash some types of china and
glassware, such as antiques and feather-edged
crystal.
Load aluminum pieces so that they will not rub
against dishes during washing. Do not wash
throw-away aluminum items in the dishwasher.
You can remove aluminum markings by using
a mild abrasive cleanser.
Removing spots and film
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a
liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent prevents
water from forming droplets and drying as
spots or streaks.
To remove spots and film on dishes and
glasses, or hard water film/lime buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher, you may use
white vinegar with the following procedure:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in the
dishwasher in regular manner. Do not load
silverware or other metals in the dishwasher.
2. Put 2 cups (473 mL) of household vinegar
in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring
cup, and stand it upright in the bottom rack.
3. Close the door.
4. Select the Normal cycle and Energy Saver
Dry option, then press Start. Do not use
detergent. Allow the dishwasher to com-
plete the entire cycle.
NOTE: This procedure is intended for occa-
sional use only. Vinegar is an acid and
excessive use may damage your dishwasher.
