WHAT TO DO
To remove spots from glassware:

dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Choose the longest cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow it to run
for about 18 to 22 minutes, then it will be
in the main wash.
5. Open the door to pour 2 cups of white
vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher.
6. Close the door and let the dishwasher
complete the cycle. If the vinegar does
not work: Repeat as above, except use
1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals
instead of vinegar.
• Use less detergent if you have soft water
and select a shortest cycle to wash the
glassware and to get them clean.
• Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and
3 cups warm water to remove the stains
by hand.
WARNING: You have to wait for 20
minutes after a cycle to let the heating
elements cool down before cleaning
interior; Failing to follow this instruct may
result in the risk of burns.
• You have to call a water softener
company for a special filter.
• To clean the interior, use a damp sponge
with dishwasher detergent and wear
rubber gloves. Never use any other
cleaner than dishwasher detergent for the
risk of foaming or suds.
• Turn the Dial to OFF position and slide the
door latch to the left.
• Re-loading the dishes properly.
• There is some steam coming through the
vent by the door latch during drying and
water draining.
• Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate
those marks.
• A small amount of clean water around the
outlet on the tub bottom keeps the water
seal lubricated.
