The dishes are not drying
Solutions
- Load the dishwasher as suggested in the directions.
- Increase the amount of rinse aid / refill the rinse aid dispenser.
- Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after washing.
Open the door slightly so that the steam can escape. Begin
unloading the dishwasher only once the dishes are barely
warm to the touch. Empty the lower basket first. This prevents
water from dripping off dishes in the upper basket.
- In short programmes the washing temperature is lower. This
also lowers cleaning performance. Choose a programme
with a longer washing time.
- Water drainage is more difficult with these items. Cutlery or
dishes of this type are not suitable for washing in the
dishwasher.
Solutions
- Select a programme which washes at a higher temperature
or takes longer.
- Bleaches in cleaners lose their efficacy when stored under
unfavourable conditions. Store detergents in a dry location.
Close the lid of the container carefully
- Cleaning of these items is made difficult by their surface
structure. Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suitable for
washing in the dishwasher.
Solutions
- Increase the amount of rinse aid / refill the rinse aid dispenser.
