Problem
Possible cause and solution
Poor drying results.
• Tableware has been left for too long inside a closed
appliance.
• There is no rinse aid or the dosage of rinse aid is not
enough. Set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher level.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• We recommend to always use rinse aid, even in com-
bination with multi-tablets.
There are whitish streaks or
bluish layers on glasses and
dishes.
• The release quantity of rinse aid is too much. Adjust
the rinse aid level to a lower level.
• The quantity of detergent is too much.
There are stains and dry water
drops on glasses and dishes.
• The released quantity of rinse aid is not sufficient. Ad-
just the rinse aid level to a higher level.
• The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.
The dishes are wet.
• The programme does not have a drying phase or has
a drying phase with low temperature.
• The rinse aid dispenser is empty.
• The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.
• The quality of the multi-tablets can be the cause. Try a
different brand or activate the rinse aid dispenser and
use rinse aid and multi-tablets together.
• Keep the dishwasher door ajar for some time before
removing tableware.
The interior of the appliance is
wet.
• This is not a defect of the appliance. it is caused by
the humidity in the air that condenses on the walls.
Unusual foam during washing. • Use the detergent for dishwashers only.
• There is a leak in the rinse aid dispenser. Contact an
Authorised Service Centre.
Traces of rust on cutlery.
• There is too much salt in the water used for washing.
Refer to
"The water softener"
.
• Silver and stainless steel cutlery were placed together.
Avoid to put silver and stainless steel items close to-
gether.
There are residues of deter-
gent in the dispenser at the
end of the programme.
• The detergent tablet got stuck in the dispenser and
therefore was not completely washed away by water.
• Water cannot wash away the detergent from the dis-
penser. Make sure that the spray arm is not blocked or
clogged.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not impede the
lid of the detergent dispenser from opening.
Odours inside the appliance.
• Refer to
"Internal cleaning"
.
Limescale deposits on the ta-
bleware, on the tub and on
the inside of the door.
