ON GLASSES AND
FLATWARE
Due to varying local water conditions and personal preferences, try several brands of
(continued)
detergents to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent
may help reduce filming.
To remove spots and film from glassware:
1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2. DO NOT ADD DETERGENT.
3. Select P~SCRUBBER cycle and ENERGY SAVER dry option.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run until “25” minutes to end of cycleis displayed.
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of
the dishwasher.
6. Close the door and allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle.
If vinegar rinse doesn’t work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60ml) of citric
acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours
doesn’t, call General Electric Factory Service.)
Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a home
water softener.
CLOUDINESS ON If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work, the cloudiness is “etching:’
GLASSWARE
The film cannot be removed.
Itcan be prevented: Use less detergent if you have sofi water. Wash glassware in the
shortest cycle
that will get them clean.
Water temperature entering dishwasher
exceeds 150”F.
YELLOW OR BROWN
Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup
FILM
bleach and 3 cups warm water.
An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron deposits
in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this
problem. Your water softener company can tell you about the filter.
Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the same load.
Silver polish will usually remove this stain.
CHIPPING OF CHINA
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can’t jar loose. (See pages 12 and 13for correct way to load glassware. )
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the
rack into the dishwasher. Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use the CHINA-CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
SMALL AMOUNT OF
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal. It is clean
