you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amountof detergent you use by small amounts until you find the
correct amount.
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove allmetal dishware,such as cutlery, pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.

Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lower rackof the dishwasher.
Runthedishes throughanormal wash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Useonly detergent specificallymadefor use in dishwashers.
