limescale on the utensils,
container or door.
Detergent substances are deposited.
These coatings cannot usually be
removed with chemicals (appliance
cleaner, ...).
Change detergent brand.
Clean appliance 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.

Select a more intensive rinse programme.
Tea or lipstick residue on the
utensils.
Too low rinsing temperature.
Select programme with higher washing
temperature.
Too little or unsuitable detergent.
Use suitable detergent at correct dosage.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore decide on weak

soiling cannot be completely
removed.
Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large
food remnants.
Increase sensitivity of the sensors.
Recommended programme Eco 50°
