Utiliser un produit d'aide au rinçage pour enlever les taches et
prévenir une nouvelle accumulation de film. Pour enlever les
taches tenaces et un film pré- existante de la verrerie :
1. Enlevez tous les ustensiles métalliques du lave-vaisselle.
2. N'ajoutez pas de détergent.
3. Lancez votre lave-vaisselle et commencez le cycle de
lavage. Le cycle prend environ 30 minutes pour arriver à sa
portion de lavage fort (le lavage principal). C'est le meilleur
moment pour ajouter le détergent.
4. Ouvrez la porte du lave-vaisselle et versez 2 tasses (500
ml) de vinaigre blanc dans le fond du lave-vaisselle.
Fermez la porte et laissez le lave-vaisselle terminer le cycle.
Si le rinçage au vinaigre n'a pas d'effet : Répéter la séquence

Pour nettoyer l'intérieur du lave-vaisselle, appliquez un
détergent pour lave-vaisselle avec une éponge humide.
Enfilez des gants en caoutchouc. N'utilisez pas un nettoyant
quelconque autre que du détergent pour lave-vaisselle car
cela pourrait provoquer une mousse excessive.
ATTENTION
Avant de nettoyer l'intérieur, attendez au moins 20 minutes
après un cycle que la température baisse. Ne pas le faire peut
entraîner brûlures.
Assurez-vous que la température d'arrivée d'eau est correcte
(voir page 4).
Vérifiez le distributeur de produit d'aide au rinçage.

Problème Causes possibles Que faire
Bruit Certains bruits que vous
entendrez sont normaux
Les ustensiles se déplacent
dans les paniers ou un petit
quelque chose a chuté dans le
panier
Le moteur ronronne
Ouverture du réservoir à détergent.
Le démarrage du moteur au cours de la période de
séchage.
L'eau qui s'écoule de la cuve immédiatement après le
démarrage du lave-vaisselle.
Assurez-vous que tout est arrimé dans le lave-vaisselle.
Lave-vaisselle n'a pas été utilisé régulièrement.
Si vous n'utilisez pas votre lave-vaisselle pendant de
longtemps, il est recommandé de lancer le programme
de lavage le plus court une fois par semaine. Cela
permet aux joints de rester humide et d'éviter des bruits
de moteur du lave-vaisselle.
Reste de détergent
dans le distributeur
Des plats bloquent le
couvercle du détergent
Repositionnez les plats.
L'eau n'est pas
pompée hors de
la cuve
Le drain est bouché
Vérifier le tuyau de vidange.
Vérifiez le filtre (voir la section intitulée « Nettoyage du filtre »)
Vérifiez si votre évier de cuisine se vide correctement.
Si non, appelez un plombier.
Savonnée dans
la cuve
Le bon détergent n'a
pas été utilisé
Utilisez uniquement le détergent spécial pour lave-
vaisselle pour éviter un débordement de mousse de
savon. Si cela se produit, ouvrez le lave-vaisselle et
laissez la mousse retomber. Ajouter 1 gallon (4 litres)
d'eau froide dans la cuve. Fermez et verrouillez le lave-
vaisselle, puis Lancez le cycle de lavage pour évacuer
l'eau. Répétez si nécessaire.
Du produit de rinçage
s'est renversé
Toujours essuyer immédiatement l'agent de rinçage
renversé.
Des parties du
lave- vaisselle
sont tachées
Un détergent contenant
un colorant a été utilisé
Certains aliments à base de
tomates peuvent tacher
Certains détergents contiennent des colorants (pigments
ou teintures) qui décolore l'intérieur de la cuve lors d'une
utilisation prolongée. Vérifiez si le réservoir à détergent
présente des signes de décoloration. Si le réservoir est
décoloré, utilisez un détergent sans colorant.
Utilisation du cycle RINSE ONLY (rinçage seulement)
après l'ajout de plat à la charge peut diminuer le niveau
de coloration.

Vérifiez la pression de l'eau en ouvrant le robinet,
si l'eau s'écoule lentement, attendez qu'une pression
normale de l'eau revienne avant d'utiliser le lave-vaisselle.
Nettoyez l'arrivée d'air.
Assurez-vous que les grand ustensiles ne bloquent pas
le distributeur de détergent ou les bras gicleurs.
