How to proceed
Make sure the detergent does not
contain colorant.
Select a stronger programme.
Make sure the action of the
detergent dispenser and spray
arms are not blocked by large
dishware.
To remove spots from glassware:
1. Take out all metal utensils from
the dishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Choose the longest cycle.
4. Start the dishwasher and allow
it to run for about 18 to 22
minutes, until it reaches the
main washing cycle.
5. Open the door to pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of
the dishwasher.
6. Close the door and let the
dishwasher complete the cycle.
If the vinegar does not work,
repeat as described above, but
use ¼ cup (60 ml) of citric acid
crystals instead of vinegar.
Use less detergent if you have soft
water and select a shortest cycle
to wash the glassware and to get
them clean.
Use a solution of ½ cup of bleach
and 3 cups of warm water to
remove the stains by hand.
WARNING: you have to wait 20
minutes after a cycle is finished
to let the heating elements cool
down before cleaning the interior;
otherwise, burns will happen.
You have to call a water softener
company and request a special
filter.

How to proceed
To clean the interior, use a damp
sponge with dishwasher detergent
and wear rubber gloves. Never
use any other cleaner than
dishwasher detergent for the risk
of foaming or suds.
Remove the detergent from
the lock.
Reload the dishes properly.
There is some steam coming
through the vent by the door latch
during drying and water draining.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner
to eliminate those marks.
A small amount of clean water
around the outlet on the tub
bottom keeps the water seal
lubricated.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse
aid dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause
oversudsing and lead to
overflowing. Wipe away any spills
with a damp cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher
is levelled.
