CAUSE
High iron content

Large amounts of

Dishes only washed

days
Improper loading
SOLUTION
Remove by washing dishes (after food soil
has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to
1 tablespoon of citric acid crystals added to
covered section of detergent dispenser. Do
not use detergent. Follow with a LOW
ENERGY/CHINA cycle and detergent. If
treatment is needed more often than every
other month, we recommend installation of
an iron removal unit.
Stains will not affect dishwasher perfor-
mance and can gradually fade over time.
Regular use of RINSE/WASH LATER
reduces the chance of staining. If air in the
dishwasher is heated during the “dry”
portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower
than if the AIR DRY option is selected.
Run a RINSE/WASH LATER cycle at least
once or twice a day until a full load is
accumulated.
Load dishes and glasses so they are stable
and do not strike together from washing
action. Moving racks in and out slowly will
also minimize chipping.
NOTE:
Some types of china and glassware
are too delicate for automatic dishwashing
and should be hand washed; for example:
antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar
items.
