•  If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.

 

 

•  Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you 

 

 

   may need a plumber.

Steam

 

This is normal

 

•  Warm, moist air comes through the vent during drying and when  

 

 

   water is being pumped out. This is necessary for drying.

A white film on  

This problem is likely caused

 

•  To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher cycle with

glassware, dishware

 

by a low quality phosphate-free

     citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use Lemi  

and the interior

 dishwasher 

detergent

 

   Shine (WX10X10019) found at your local grocery store.

 

 

   Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover. Place the filmed

 

 

   but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave 

 

 

   silverware and other metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher

 

 

   on and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware,

 

 

   dishware, and dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively,

 

 

   a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after

 

 

   the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.

 

 

   This may be repeated several times a year as needed

 

 

   The use of a rinse agent such as 

Cascade

®

 Complete Rinse Aid 

may help  

 

 

   minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent  

  

 

 

such 

as 

Cascade

®

 Platinum Pacs

 will help prevent film build-up.
