Spotting and Hard water Use the maximum recommended amount (3 tablespoons) of dishwasher
filming detergent. You may need a home water softener.
To remove hard water spots, try a vinegar rinse.
• Wash and rinse load as usual.
• Remove all metal items from dishwasher.
• Do not add detergent.
• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it on the bottom
rack of the dishwasher.
• Run the dishes through and entire wash program. If the
vinegar rinse doesn’t work, repeat the above process
substituting 1/4 cup citric acid crystals (available at most drug
stores) for the vinegar.
Wiping with a damp cloth should remove spots from metal items. For
sterling and silver plated flatware, rub with a towel, or use a good
cream silver polish.
