PROBLEM
SOLUTION
ETCHING ( PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware
and can be caused by a combination
of:
water
that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water
or by pre-washing.
Detergent
needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware
is
permanently
damaged.
To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the
water
hardness, stop pre-washing,
and use water
heating options only when incoming
water
temperature
is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly
and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately
and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try
another
brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking
from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached
and avoid
overfilling.
