White film or cloudy residue on dishes and glassware after washing.

Safety first: Allow dishes to cool before handling.

• 1. Verify water hardness: If you have hard water, use a detergent formulated for hard water and always use rinse aid.
• 2. Adjust detergent amount: Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations; too much can leave residue.
• 3. Increase rinse aid: Set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting to improve sheeting and reduce spotting.
• 4. Run a cleaning cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar placed on the top rack to remove mineral buildup.
• 5. Ensure hot water: Run the hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher to ensure a hot fill.

Persistent scaling may require a whole-house or point-of-use water softener.
