What to do?
A lot of droplets on the glasses - Lack or insufficient amount of
rinsing product.
- The dose has not been distrib-
uted.
- Positioning of the items.
- Check the indicator light and
fill the tank completely.
- If the tank is not empty after
approximately 60 washings,
call a technician.
- Arrange the items to restrict
water retention as much as
possible. Leave the door ajar
for a few minutes, if possible
Droplets on plastic items, Tefal
coatings, etc.
- These items have a low calori-
fic mass.
- Arrange the items in the upper
basket.
Poorer drying on rapid
programmes
- On rapid programmes, the drying
temperature and drying period are
reduced to cut down the duration
of the cycle as much as possible.
- Leave the door ajar for a few
minutes.
Condensation on the wall of the
inside door or the tub.
- Condensation may form on the
walls, particularly after the
appliance has cooled down
(sound insulation increases
this occurance)

What to do?
Constant filling
A lot of waste on the large filter
at the end of the cycle.
- Drain hole situated too low for
the appliance (Cf. table fault
d012).
- The filters and drain outlets are
blocked with too much
residue.
- Drain wand has fallen on the
floor.
- Remove and clean the filters
and the bottom of the drain
outlets. Remove large residue
from the plates before putting
them in the machine.
Traces of rust on stainless steel - Quality of the stainless steel ;
not dishwasher-safe (knives in
particular)
- Use “special dishwasher-safe”
cutlery.
- Check that the lid on the salt con-
tainer is closed correctly.

What to do?
White marks
(identify what type)
- Chalky film (removable with
vinegar).
- Traces of salt (items have a
salty taste).
- Check that there is salt in the
tank (light unlit = OK).
- Check the water hardness at
the tap and that the water sof-
tener is set correctly. Adjust it
to a higher level if necessary.
- Water too hard for using a “4-
in-1” detergent without the
addition of salt.
- Check that the stopper on the
salt container is closed correctly.
White marks
(identify what type)
- Glass cloudy because water
too soft (cannot be removed).
- Check the water hardness at
the tap and that the water sof-
tener is set correctly. Some
detergents in pellet form are
more aggressive to glasses
and decorations (change the
product and use a protective
product if necessary).
Coloured marks (tea, wine, cof-
fee)
- Items poorly arranged
- Detergent dose too low; ineffi-
cient detergent
- Programme temperature too
low.
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Turn the cavities in the items
towards the jets.
- Increase the dose; try another
detergent.
- Select a more suitable programme
with a higher temperature.
-
Use the “4-in-1” option
(depending on the model).
Streaks or dried droplets on
glasses
- Lack or insufficient amount of
rinsing product.
- Rinsing product out-of-date or
inefficient.
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Check the indicator light and
fill the tank completely. Adjust
the dispensing unit to a higher
position if necessary.
- Use a recent product (a good
product dilutes easily and
foams in cold water).
- Use the “4-in-1” option with a
setting prioritizing drying
(parametering from the menu –
depending on the model).
Dried-on marks on glasses, dull-
ness.
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Use the “4-in-1” option with a
setting prioritizing brilliance
(parametering from the menu –
depending on the model).
