WHAT TO DO
• Each button must be touched within 30 seconds of the
others. To relight, touch any button again or open the
door and unlock (top control).
• Clean the air gap. See the Care and cleaning section.
• Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
• If you have an air gap, clean it. See the Care and cleaning section.
• If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.
• Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
• Warm, moist air comes through the vent during drying and when
water is being pumped out. This is necessary for drying.
• Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the wash
cycle.
• Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F and 150°F.
• These are all normal. No action is required.
• Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the Loading the
dishwasher section.
• Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid bumping
against inner door during wash cycle.
• To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher
cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found online.
Otherwise, use Lemi Shine (WX10X10019) found at your local
grocery store. Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and
close the cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware
and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other
metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on
and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent. The
glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out film
free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of
vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and
let the dishwasher complete its cycle. This may be repeated
several times a year as needed. The use of a rinse agent such
as Cascade
Complete Rinse Aid may help minimize a repeat
®
build up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as
Cascade
Platinum Pacs will help prevent film build-up.
