SOLUTIONS TO COMMOND DISHWASHING PROBLEMS, continued

Stains and discolorations

Stains or discoloration on dishes could be caused by a

number of things. Listed below are some of the most

common causes. See also "Washing Special Items" on

page 15.

Too much iron or manganese in the water can cause

yellow or brown marks on your dishes. As a

temporary solution, in place of the prewash detergent,

use one teaspoon to one tablespoon of citric acid

crystals. You should consider installing a water

filtering system.

Coffee and tea stains usually have to be removed by

handwashing in a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and one

quart of water. (Do not use on sterling silver or silver

plate.) Be sure to rinse these items thoroughly before

putting them in the dishwasher so there is no bleach

residue on the dishware.

Etching

If you have a cloudy film on your dishes that can't be

removed, it could be etching. To prevent etching, try the

following:

Use less detergent. You may be using too much for

the water hardness in your area. (See page 5.)

Use a good quality dishwasher detergent.

Do not overload the machine. Water should circulate

freely to ensure adequate rinsing and draining.

Fill the rinse aid dispenser (unless you have soft water

in your area; in which case you may not need a rinse

aid). (See page 6.)

Use a lower water temperature setting.

Do not use the Extra Dry setting.

Do not pre-rinse the dishes; just scrape off large food

particles and bones.

4. Run the dishes through a Normal wash program.

If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1/4 cup of

citric acid crystals (available at most drug stores) instead

of vinegar.
