• Soft Water Etching

If the cloud), film is not removed after soaking

in vinegar (previous procedure), then the

condition is etching. This permanent film

occurs in unusual conditions under which the

surface of the glass is pitted or eroded. It is

permanent.

In the beginning stages, etching may be

identified by a "rainbow" look shades of blue,

purple, brown or pink may be seen when the

glass is held at an angle to the light. In

advanced stages the surface of the glassware

appears frosted, spotted or cloudy.

Certain types of glassware will etch in any

dishwasher with the combination of soft water

(especially" mechanically softened), an

excessive amount of detergent, heat and

prerinsing. There is no relationship to the cost

or quality of the glass.

To prevent:

1. Adjust the amount of detergent to the

degree of water hardness (see page 6).

2. Lower the water temperature (see page 3).

3. Do not manually prerinse dishes before

loading in dishwasher. Prerinsing prior to

loading to remove all food soil aggravates

etching.

• Rust

Sometimes the dishes or the interior of the

dishwasher may turn a brown, red or black

color if iron or manganese is in the water. To

remove discoloration from dishwasher interior,

dishes and glassware (no metal items):

1. Select a rust removing compound, such as

RoVer Rust Remover. It is available from

Maytag Parts Distributors by using Part

No. 57961.

.

Start empty dishwasher on Rinse & Hold or

rinse portion of the cycle. During fill, open

the door and add 1/2 cup RoVer Rust

Remover to the water. Allow the

dishwasher to complete the cycle.

3. Follow with a detergent wash.

The only permanent solution is to install

special filters which can remove iron mad

manganese from the water.

Energy Saving Tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads, Running a half-filled

dishwasher uses the same amount of

electricity and hot water as a full), loaded

machine.

.

Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes.

Select the correct cycle for the load and use

the recommended amount of detergent for

good washing results without hand rinsing.

Load correctly for best washing results.

Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and

the need to prewash all or part of the load.

Use the Light!China cycle when dishes are

lightly soiled. It uses less hot water and energy

than other eyries.

Fan dry dishes (without heat) when you don't

need a rapid drying eyrie, Allow longer drying

times (overnight).

Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours.

Local utilities recommend this to avoid hea D •

usage of energy at certain times of day. Check

with your utility company to see if off-peak

rates exist.
