be removed with chemicals (dish-
washer cleaner, ...).
Change detergent brand.
Clean dishwasher mechanically.
Hardness range incorrectly set or
water hardness greater than
8.9 mmol/l.
Set water softening system according to
instructions for use or top up salt.

dishes.
Too low rinsing temperature.
Select wash cycle with higher washing tem-
perature.
Too little or unsuitable detergent.
Use suitable detergent at correct dosage.

removed.
Do not pre-rinse dishes. Remove only large

Increase sensitivity of the sensors.
