Traces of rust on stainless
steel
A lot of drops on the
glasses
Drops on plastic glasses,
Tefal coatings, etc.
Drying is less good in
rapid programmes.
Condensation on the
walls of the inner door or
the tub.
- The quality of the stain-
less steel (in knives in
particular) is unsuitable
for washing in a machine.
- Insufficient or no rinse
aid.
- The dose has not been
distributed.
- Position of the items.
- These insulating items
have a low calorific
mass.
- In the rapid pro-
grammes, the drying
temperature and the
drying time are reduced
to restrict the length of
the cycle to a minimum
level.
- Condensation may form
on the walls, particular-
ly after cooling down
(sound insulation
increases its occurren-
ce).
- Use special “dishwa-
sher-safe” cutlery
- Check that the salt pot’s
stopper is firmly closed.
- Check the indicator light
and fill the reservoir
completely.
- If the reservoir is not
empty after approxi-
mately 60 washes, call
an engineer.
- To relieve the problem,
arrange the items so as
to restrict as much as
possible any water
retention: if possible,
leave the door ajar for a
few minutes.
- Arrange them optimally,
prioritising the use of
the upper basket if pos-
sible.
- Select the most appro-
priate rapid programme.
Troubleshooting, what to do?
Poor operation Possible causes What to do
Poor washing results Possible causes What to do
- Check that there is salt
in the reservoir (light
unlit = OK)
- Check the water hardness
at the tap and that the
water softener is set cor-
rectly. Set it on a higher
setting if necessary.
- Water too hard for using
a “3 in 1” detergent
(not recommended).
- Check that the salt pot’s
stopper is firmly closed.
- Check the water hard-
ness at the tap and that
the water softener is
set correctly. Some
detergent tablets are
more aggressive to
glasses and decorations
(change the detergent,
use a protective product
if necessary).
- Turn the open ends (of
glasses, bowls, etc.)
towards the jets
- Increase the amount of
detergent
- Select a more suitable
programme, with a
higher temperature.
- Check the indicator light
and fill the reservoir
completely, set the dis-
penser to the upper
position if necessary.
- Replace with a new
rinse agent (a good
rinse aid dilutes easily
and foams in cold
water).
- Chalky film (can be
removed with vinegar).
- Traces of salt
(item has a salty taste)
- Opalisation of the glass
because water too soft
(cannot be removed).
- Items poorly arranged
- Not enough or poor
detergent
- Programme with too
low a temperature.
- Insufficient or no rinse
aid.
- Poor or out-of-date
rinse aid.
White marks
(Identify the nature of
the marks)
Coloured marks (tea,
wine, coffee, blood)
Run marks or dried
droplets on the glasses
