Water Conditions .... ..............................................

Hard Water contains minerals that can cause a film or deposit on the dishwasher tub and dishes. You may first

notice this as "cloudy" glasses. To confirm if the film is removable, soak a glass for approximately 5 minutes in

undiluted white vinegar. Rinse and dry. If the film is removed, it is probably due to hard water (if not removed,

see Soft Water).

To correct:

1. Adjust the detergent amount to the degree of water

hardness. (See pg. 6)

2, Check the wamr temperature. (See pg. 6)

3. Use a rinse aid to improve the sheeting action of the

water. (See pg. 7)

4. See page 14 for further information if, after following

the above guidelines, wash results are still not satis-

factory.

To remove film from the dishwasher:

(TO' one of the following.)

1. A damp cloth and mild scouring powder.

2. Run a Normal cycle with detergent in the MAIN

WASH cup only. Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into

the water in the bottom of the tub after the first fill.

Soft Water can promote etching if too much detergent is used, items are prerinsed or the water temperature is too

high. Etching is a permanent pitting or eroding of the surface of the glassware.

The beginning stages can be identified by a "rainbow"

effect-- shades of blue, purple, brown or pink when the

glass is held at an angle to the light. In advanced stages

the surface appears frosted, spotted or cloudy.

Etching can happen in any dishwasher and there is no

relationship to the cost or quality of the glass.

To prevent:

1. Adjust the detergent amount to water hardness. (See

pg. 6)

2. Adjust the water temperature. (See pg. 6)

3. Do not prerinse. This aggravates etching.

Rust Minerals (iron and manganese) can turn dishes or the

7b prevent:

1. Drain your home's water heater once a year to flush

away any mineral deposits.

2.

2. Check with a water treatment company like Culligan

or Kinetico to see if a filter is needed in the home.

To remove2

(Do not use this method on metal items.)

I. Use a rust removing compound like RoVer Rust

.

tub interior a brown, red or black color.

Remover* (available from an authorized Maytag

Parts Retailer by using Part No. 057961). Do not use

RoVer with dishwashing detergent.

Fill both detergent cups with RoVer. Complete a

Normal wash cycle. Follow with a shorter wash

cycle using dishwasher detergent.

The only permanent solution is to install special fil-

ters which can remove iron and manganese from the

water.
