POSSIBLE CAUSE
Spotting can be
caused
by
*1
these things:
●
Extremely hard
water.
(See
How
to Choose
and
Use
Detergent section).
●
Low inlet
water
temperature,
(See
How to Test Water Temperature section),
*
Overloading the dishwasher.

Improper loading.
(See
Loadkg section).
o
Old
or damp powder detergent.

Choose and Use
Detergent section).
. Rinse agent dispenser
empty.
(See
How to Use a Rinse Agent section).
Q
Too little detergent.
(See
How
to
Choose and Use Detergent section).
Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of
detergents
to
find
ona
that
gives
tie
best
results for you. A liquid dishwasher
detergent
may
help reduce filming.
To remove stubborn spots and fdm from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2.
Do
not add detergent.
3.
Select
POTSCRUBBER cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow
to
run for 18 to 22 minutes. The dishwasher will
now be@ the
mti
wash.
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of
white
vinegar into the bottom of
the
dishwasher.
6. Close
the
door and allow to complete
tie
cycle.
If vinegar rhtse
dmn’t
work:
Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup {60
d)
of citric
acid
crystis
instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours
doesn’t,
cdl
GE Factory Service).
Using a vinegar or citric
acid
crysti
rinse
more than twice a month? Consider a home
water
soRener.
If vinegar or
citric
acid crystal rinse doesn’t work,
tie
cloudiness is “etching.”
The film cannot be
ramoved.
It can
be
prevented:
Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in
the shortest cycle that will get them
clean,
Water temperature entering dishwasher exceeds
150°F.
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can’t jar loose. (See Loading section). Make sure
Ml
glasses and
stemware
will
clear the top of the tub when you push
the
rack into the dishwasher.
Always use the top rack for delicate items.
