DISHES ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAN
• Food soil left on the dishes
- Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Do not
allow dishes to nest too close together. There must be sufficient space between each
dish to allow the wash water to clean the dishes properly.
- Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in your dishwasher? If
you have some items with heavier soils, use a heavier cycle.
- Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be at
least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
- Did you use the correct amout of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher
detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never use less than 1 tbsp
(15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry
area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.
- Is the air gap or disposer clogged? Clean as required.
- Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit
for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.
- Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans? If you wash bottles
and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray arm.
- Are spray arms obstructed by dishes? Re-position dishes to allow spray arms to rotate
freely.
- Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water
pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster
pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.
- Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents. Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only.
SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES
• Spotting and filming on dishes
- Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditionning the
final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the
rinse aid dispenser filled. Always use a high-temp option. If your water hardness is
13 grains or above, it is strongly recommended that you install a home water softener.
If you do not wish to drink softened water, have a softener installed onto your hot
water supply.
- Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be at
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
- Did you use the correct amout of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher
detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never use less than 1 tbsp
(15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry
area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.
- Make sure the dishes are loaded as shown in the "Dishwasher Loading" section.
