Rinse agent not used
Plastics
Energy Saver Dry
option used
SOLUTION
For effective cleaning, use fresh dishwasher
detergent and store it tightly closed in a cool,
dry place. Throw away any lumpy detergent.
Your home water pressure should be 20 to
120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for a proper dishwasher
fill. You may need a booster pump on the water
supply if the pressure is too low.
Fill the rinse agent dispenser. See the instruc-
tions on page 18.
You may have to hand wash these items to
eliminate this problem completely. Silica film
and etching are permanent marks and cannot
be removed. To slow down the reaction, you
can try using as little detergent as possible and
a liquid rinse agent. Also, underload the dish-
washer to allow thorough rinsing, and use the
Energy Saver Dry option.
Reseason your cookware after a dishwasher
washing. See cookware manufacturer's instruc-
tions, or coat pan with cooking oil and wipe
clean with a paper towel.
SOLUTION
Set your water heater to ensure that the water
entering the dishwasher is at least 120°F
(49°C). See page 23 for recommended
procedure under "Energy saving tips."
Do not overload the dishwasher so that the
water can drain off the dishes adequately, and
use a liquid rinse agent to help speed drying.
See pages 8-13 for proper loading instructions.
Do not use the Energy Saver Dry option.
Fill the rinse agent dispenser. See page 18 for
instructions.
Some plastics might need to be towel dried.
Do not use the Energy Saver Dry option on the
next load of dishes.
