CAUTION Property Damage Hazard Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage. Winterizing A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following: To Disconnect Service: 1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker. 2. Shut off water supply. 3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and drain into pan. 4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan. To Restore Service: 1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply. 2. Turn on water and electrical power supply. 3. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH/POTS & PANS cycle. 4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak. NOTE See Installation Instructions for more details on disconnecting and restoring service to your dishwasher. SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher. Food Soils Left on Dishes • Choose another cycle for longer washing time. • Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items. • Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi). • Check incoming water temperature. It should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.) • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.) • Use fresh detergent. • Check to make sure funnel in top rack is not blocked. • Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating. Dishes not Dry • Select heat dry option. • Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. • Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid.) • Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C). • Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items. • Plastic items may need to be towel dried. • Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.) • Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.) • Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.) • Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective. • Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled. • Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. Also, check phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.) • Home water pressure may be too low—it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi). Dishware Chipped • Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.) • Place delicate items in top rack. • Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins. • Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly. • Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in. • Fine antique china and crystal should be hand- washed. Dishware Stained or Discolored • Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly. • Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film.) • Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load properly. • Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once. • Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver. Etching • Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed. • Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.) • Lower the water temperature. • Use no heat dry option. Detergent Left in Cups • Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent. SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS • Be sure water action can reach the dispenser. • Check to see if cycle has been completed. • Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Dishwasher Leaks • Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand. Vapor at Vent • Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal. • Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to ...
