Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup 
on the interior of the dishwasher.  Dishes 
and glasses may also get spots and fi lm for a 
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware 
Spotted or Cloudy section).  To remove 
buildup, and fi lm, clean using the following 
instructions:

1.

manner.  Do not load any metal utensils 
or silverware.

2. 

Do not add detergent.

3. 

Select the NORMAL WASH cycle.  Close 
the door.  Press START/CANCEL pad.

the second water fi ll (approximately 8 
minutes).

Stains on Tub Interior

Washing large amounts of dishware 
with tomato based soil can cause a 
pink/orange appearance.  This will not 
affect performance and will gradually 
fade over time.  Pre-rinsing or using the 
Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance 
of staining.  Using no heat dry option 
will lessen staining.

Opening the door during cycle

• 

If the dishwasher door is opened while 
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL 
pad must be pressed and the door shut 
immediately to return the unit to the 
selected cycle and option, this must 
happen within 10 minutes for the unit
