Action Possible causes Problem
Check that the dishes are not blocking the spray
arms. The spray arms do not rotate. The dishes are not clean.
Clean the spray arms. See the chapter Care and
cleaning. Spray arm holes or bearings blocked.
Choose a longer programme. Unsuitable dishwashing programme.
Dose according to water hardness. Far too
much or far too little detergent results in poorer
dishwashing results. Incorrect detergent dosage.
Avoid large packages. Old detergent. Detergent is a perishable
product.
Do not cover porcelain with large bowls or the
like. Avoid placing very tall glasses in the
corners of the baskets. Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Place dishes to sit steady. Glasses and cups have toppled over during the
programme.
Check that the filter handle is locked in the stop
position. The handle should point straight out
from the dishwasher. The filters are not fitted correctly.
Check that the coloured stop on the right in the
bottom drain is in place. See the chapter Care
and cleaning. Drainage pump stop missing.
Rinse off these types of foodstuffs if not starting
the dishwasher immediately. Use the Rinse &
hold programme. Some foodstuffs, such as mustard, mayonnaise,
lemon, vinegar, salt and dressings, can mark
stainless steel if left for too long. Spots on stainless steel or silver.
In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate
dishes made from different metals, such as
silver, stainless steel and aluminium. All stainless steel can cause spots on silver if
they come into contact during dishwashing.
Aluminium can also cause spots on dishes.
See the chapter Settings. Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting. Spots or films on the dishes.
Switch all-in-one detergents or deactivate the
setting TAB and top up with salt and separate
rinse aid. See Rinse aid in the chapter Settings. The setting TAB is activated and all-in-one
detergent with insufficient drying effect is being
used.
Top up with salt. See the chapter Care and
cleaning. Salt compartment empty.
See Water hardness in the chapter Settings. Incorrect water softener setting.
Check that the salt compartment lid is properly
tightened. Otherwise call the service
department. The water softener is leaking salt.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and with a
conservative amount of detergent. Contact the
detergent manufacturer. Too high temperature and/or too much detergent
can cause etching on crystal. Unfortunately, this
cannot be repaired, only prevented.
Reduce the dosage. See the chapter Settings.
If you have very soft water, you may want to
dilute the rinse aid 50:50 with water. Rinse aid dosage setting too high. The dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
Use a detergent with a bleaching agent. Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash off. Spots left after washing.
The detergent compartment must be dry when
adding detergent. The detergent compartment was damp when
adding detergent. Detergent residue in the detergent compartment
after dishwashing.
Check that the dishes are not preventing the
detergent compartment from opening. The detergent compartment has been blocked.
Check that the dishes are placed securely. Spin
the spray arms to make sure they can rotate. The dishes are not correctly placed or the spray
arms are not rotating. Rattling sound when dishwashing.
