Dishware Stained Or Discolored; Etching - Electrolux EDW5500DSS0 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Solutions to Common Problems

DISHWARE STAINED OR DISCOLORED

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a
solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A water filter installed
in-line with your water supply will correct this problem.
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other
items. Load properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse cycle or rinse by
hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause
pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

ETCHING
