Removing Spots and Film Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions: 1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware. 2. Do not add detergent. 3. Select the NORMAL cycle. Press START/ CANCEL pad. Close and latch the door. 4.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly • If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty. • Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet. • Check to see if drain hose is kinked. • Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.  NOTE If the condition persists, it may be necessary to consider the use of water softener. Dishwasher has an Odor • Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle. • There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This is normal. • Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

Opening the door during cycle • If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle and option. This must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to continue the cycle. 19
