The china has a whitish-
blue sticky film
• Lift off the arms and clean

level of water hardness
• Heavier programs are longer,
and use higher temperatures
for dirtier loads. Use a heavi-
er program better suited for
the load
• Do not cover china with large
bowls or the like
• Try not to place too much tall
glassware in the corners of
the baskets

• Wash (crystal) glass at a
low temperature and use
dishwasher detergent spar-
ingly. Contact the dishwasher
detergent manufacturer

chapter on rinse aid. If the
water is very soft, you could
try diluting the rinse aid with
water (1 part rinse aid, 1 part
