• Very hard water. Compensate with acidic rinse aid.
Still not clean after testing with citric acid?
• The cause is probably temperature that is too high and/or too much detergent. This type of film, or
etching, cannot be remedied, only prevented. Wash glasses at low temperature and dispense the
amount detergent with care, and avoid heated drying. Consult the maker of the detergent.
FAULT - DISHWARE HAS STICKY WHITE/BLUE FILM
Possible causes
Concentration of rinse aid is too high. Modify the dose, see Rinse aid. If the water is very soft it may
be suitable to dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water, see Rinse aid.
FAULT - STAINS ON SILVER OR STAINLESS STEEL
Possible causes
Some remains of food, eg, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt or dressing can cause stains on
stainless steel if left for too long. Rinse away this type of substance if the machine is not to be run
straight away. All types of stainless steel can result in stains on silver if contact is made while being
washed.
Aluminium can result in marks on other objects if contact is made while being washed.
FAULT - STAINS NOT WASHED OFF
Possible cause
Detergent that does not contain chlorine (recommended to protect the environment) may be unable
to remove severe stains, eg, lipstick, tea stains.
FAULTS - MISCELLANEOUS
Knocking sound while the machine is running - spray arms hitting protruding objects.
Rattling noises while the machine is running - dishware not properly arranged.
Dishware is not dried - programme without drying was selected or insufficient dose of rinse aid, see
Rinse aid.
