Troubleshooting
Rust spots on the silverware.
Silverware not adequately rust-
resistant. Knife blades are frequently
more severely affected.
Use corrosion-resistant silverware.
Silverware will also rust if rusting
parts are rinsed at the same time
(pan handles, damaged utensil
baskets, etc.).
Do not wash rusting parts.

high, as salt dispenser lock not
fastened firmly or salt was spilled
while being refilled.
Fasten salt dispenser lock firmly or remove
spilled salt.
