• Use Jet-Dry

®

and Cascade Crystal Clear 

rinse agents to remove spots and 

prevent new film buildup.

• To remove stubborn spots and pre-existing film from glassware:

1 Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

2 Do not add detergent.

3 Select the POTS & PANS cycle.

4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 30 minutes. Dishwasher

will now be in the main wash.

5 Open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the

bottom of the dishwasher.

6 Close the door and allow to complete the cycle. If vinegar rinse doesn’t 

work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals 
instead of vinegar.

• This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening, 

use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest 
cycle that will get them clean.

• Lower the water heater temperature.

• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.

• Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 

3 cups warm water.

Before cleaning interior wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the 
heating element to cool down. Failure to do so can result in burns.

A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct 

this problem. Contact a water softener company.

• To clean the interior, apply dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge. 

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than
dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing. Cascade
