Problem
Possible causes
Action
The dishes are not clean.
The spray arms do not rotate.
Remove the arms and clean them.
Check that the dishes are not blocking
the spray arms.
Old detergent. Detergent is a perishable
product.
Avoid large packages.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Dose according to water hardness. Far
too much or far too little detergent results
in poorer dishwashing results.
Dishwashing programme too weak.
Select a more powerful programme.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Do not cover porcelain with large bowls
or the like. Avoid placing very tall
glasses in the corners of the baskets.
Glasses and cups have toppled over
during the programme.
Place dishes to sit steady.
The filter is not correctly fitted.
Screw the filter firmly into place. See the
section Care and cleaning.
Spots on stainless steel or silver.
Some foodstuffs, such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt and
dressings, can mark stainless steel if left
for too long.
Rinse off these types of foodstuffs if not
starting the dishwasher immediately.
Why not use the Rinse programme.
All stainless steel can cause spots on
silver if they come into contact during
dishwashing. Aluminium can also cause
spots on dishes.
Silver and stainless steel items should
not come into contact during
dishwashing.
Spots or films on the dishes.
The water softener is leaking salt.
Check that the salt compartment lid is
properly tightened. Otherwise call the
service department.
Incorrect water softener setting.
See the section Settings.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting.
See the sections Before washing for the
first time and Settings.
Salt compartment empty.
Top up with salt. See the section Before
washing for the first time.
3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent is used and
the setting TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one
detergent) is activated.
Inactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/
All-in-one detergent) and top up salt and
rinse aid.
Too high temperature and/or too much
detergent can cause etching on crystal.
Unfortunately, this cannot be repaired,
only prevented.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and
with a conservative amount of detergent.
Contact the detergent manufacturer.
The dishes have a sticky white/blue film. Rinse aid dosage setting too high.
Reduce the amount. See the sections
Before washing for the first time and
Settings. If you have very soft water, you
may want to dilute the rinse aid 50:50
with water.
Spots left after washing.
Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash
off.
Use a detergent with a bleaching agent.
