Jenn-Air DU460 is a dishwasher with a range of features to help you get your dishes clean and dry. It has a water heating feature that automatically senses the temperature of the water in the wash cycle and heats it, if necessary, to the proper temperature. This can help you save energy by allowing you to turn down your household water heater. The DU460 also has a rinse agent dispenser which helps prevent spotting and makes drying faster. Additionally, you can choose between two drying options: HEATED DRY or AIR DRY.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
SPOTSAND FILMING Spotting canbe caused byallthese things:
ON GLASSES AND •Extremely hardwater. (See page 5.)
FLATWARE •Low inlet water temperature. (Totest, see page 5.)
i• Overloadingthe dishwasher.
l• Improper loading. (See pages 7and8.)
• Old or damppowder detergent.
• Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See page 5.)
•Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See page 5.)
!• Too little detergent. (See page 6.)
Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of detergents
to find one that gives the best results for you.Aliquid dishwasher detergentmay help
reducefilming.
To remove stubborn spots and filmfrom glassware:
1. Removeall metal utensils from thedishwasher.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. SelectHEAVY WASH cycle.
4.Start the dishwasher andallow to runfor 15to20 minutes. The dishwasher will now

5. Then openthe door andpour 2 cups (500 rnl) of white vinegar intothebottomof
the dishwasher.
6. Close the doorandallow to complete thecycle.

Jenn-Air DU460 is a dishwasher with a range of features to help you get your dishes clean and dry. It has a water heating feature that automatically senses the temperature of the water in the wash cycle and heats it, if necessary, to the proper temperature. This can help you save energy by allowing you to turn down your household water heater. The DU460 also has a rinse agent dispenser which helps prevent spotting and makes drying faster. Additionally, you can choose between two drying options: HEATED DRY or AIR DRY.
