disposer is not clogged.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use
a detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can
lead to overflowing. Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
Excessive filling of the rinse distributor is not recommended.
See Page 8.
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out
once every week. This will help keep the seal moist, and the food

AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING.
Excessive filling of the rinse distributor is not recommended.

To remove suds from the tub : Open the dishwasher. Let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water plus one tablespoon (15 ml)
of corn oil to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out
water by slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is
reached. On models with Electronic Control : Pump out water by
pressing the START/RESET pad, then 10 seconds later, press
START/RESET pad again. Repeat if necessary.

detergent without any colorant.
Some tomato-based foods can cause reddish stains in the tub and
the racks. Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding the dish to
the load can prevent the level of staining. Fill both detergent cups
completely with citric acid and run dishwaher through a full cycle
without dishes to help remove these type of stains. Citric acid is
widely available in powder form at most drugstores across the
country.
