A special filter installed in the water supply line will
correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film.)
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they
rub against other items. Load properly.

stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period. Use the Rinse & Hold cycle or rinse by hand if
not operating dishwasher at once.
