• To prevent this from occurring,
make sure to prepare and load
the dishwasher according to the
instructions (see pages 16-23) and
select the appropriate wash program
(see pages 14-15).
• To remove spots from glassware,
wash it in the dishwasher on the
longest cycle without any detergent
and without any metal utensils. After
about 18-22 minutes, when the
main wash has started, open the
door carefully and pour two cups
of white vinegar into the bottom
of the dishwasher. Close the door,
press START/PAUSE and let the
dishwasher complete the cycle. If
the vinegar remedy does not work,
repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup
(60ml) of citric acid crystals instead
of vinegar.

avoid the risk of foaming or suds.
