Problem Possible cause and remedy
Dishes are not dry or
cutlery and glasses are
blotchy. The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the
rinse aid reservoir is empty.
 Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dosage, or
change the brand of rinse aid (see “Using for the
first time - Rinse aid”).
Dishes were taken out of the wash cabinet too soon.

Leave dishes in longer (see “Operation - Unloading
the dishwasher”).
The duration of the drying phase for the selected
programme is not sufficient for the crockery
(particularly for plastic crockery).
 Select the Extra dry programme option (see
“Programme options – Extra dry”).
You have used combination products that have
insufficient drying performance.
 Switch to another detergent or add rinse aid (see
“Using for the first time - Rinse aid”).
Glassware has a brown
or blue tinge. The film
cannot be wiped off. Ingredients from the detergent have formed a
deposit.

Switch to another detergent straight away.
Glassware is dull and
discoloured. The film
cannot be wiped off. The glassware is not dishwasher safe. The surface
has altered.
 There is no remedy.
Purchase glassware which is dishwasher safe.
Tea or lipstick stains
have not been
completely removed. The wash temperature of the selected programme
was too low.

Select a programme with a higher wash
temperature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low.

Change your detergent.
Plastic items are
discoloured. Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or tomato
sauce may be the cause. The amount of detergent
used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal
with natural dyes.

Use more detergent (see “Detergents”).
Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to
their original colour.
