CLOUDY OR SPOTTED

DISHWARE (AND HARD

WATER SOLUTION)

NOTES:

■ Liquid rinse aid, in addition to all-in-one tablets or packs, is necessary for drying and to

reduce spotting.

■ Use the correct amount of detergent.

Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If

the cloudiness disappears, it was due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse

aid. See “HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)” in

“Troubleshooting.” If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).

Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49ºC).

Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.

To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.

■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and

metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar into a glass measuring cup in the lower

rack. Run a Normal Wash cycle with the Turbo Heated Dry option turned OFF. No detergent

is needed.

ETCHING (PERMANENT

CLOUDINESS)

This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water

that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water, or by pre-washing. Detergent

needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged.

To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop

pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is

below 120°F (49ºC).

LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.

Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only

detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another

brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and

avoid overfilling.

TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:

■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.

■ Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.

■ A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean the tub.
