Tea residue or lipstick marks
on tableware.

Washing temperature is too
low.

Select a programme with a higher
washing temperature. 

→ 

"Programmes", Page 20

Too little detergent is being
used or is unsuitable.

Use a suitable "Detergent "

→ 

Page 31

 and follow the manufac-

turer's instructions for the amount
to be used.

Tableware has been pre-
cleaned too intensely. The
sensors chose a weaker pro-
gramme. Stubborn soiling
cannot be entirely removed.

Only remove large remnants of food
and do not prerinse tableware.

Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors. 

→ 

"Sensors", Page 13

Coloured coatings (blue, yel-
low, brown) that are difficult
or impossible to remove are
present inside the appliance
or on stainless steel table-
ware.

The formation of films is due
to substances contained in
vegetables (cabbage, celery,
potatoes, noodles, etc.) or
tap water (manganese).

Clean the appliance.
You can remove deposits with
"Mechanical cleaning"

or a machine cleaning product. It
may not always be possible to com-
pletely remove deposits but they
are harmless to health.

The formation of films is due

or a machine cleaning product. It
may not always be possible to com-
pletely remove deposits but they
are harmless to health.

Coloured deposits (yellow,
orange, brown) that are easy
to remove are present inside

nants and tap water (limes-
cale) "soaplike".
