Troubleshooting
Before you contact an authorized specialist
Problem
Possible cause / Action
Unit doesn’t
start
∙ Check the power supply. ∙ Is the
unit turned on and the door securely
closed? ∙ Is a program selected?
∙ Is the water supply properly con-
nected and the water supply opened?
Water is not
drained off
∙ Check the drain hose. ∙ Are the
filters or the kitchen sink clogged?
Noise
∙ Make sure that all dishes are se-
cured in the dishwasher. ∙ Place the
parts so that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Foaming
Use only special dishwasher deter-
gent to avoid foaming. If this occurs,
open the door and let suds evapo-
rate. Add a bit of cold water to the
tub. Start a short rinse cycle to drain
out the water.
Flat table-
ware is not
clean
∙ Select a stronger program.
∙ Make sure that the spray arms are
not blocked by large dishes.
Spots and
filming
∙ Extremely hard water ∙ low inlet
temperature ∙ overloading the bas-
kets, improper loading ∙ old or damp
detergent ∙ incorrect dosage of de-
tergent
