Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Dishes, cutlery
and glasses are
not dry or are
flecked.

The rinse aid amount may
be insufficient or the rinse
aid reservoir empty.

Replenish the reservoir,
increase the dosage or
change the brand of rinse aid.
See "Before using for the first
time".

Crockery was taken out of
the cabinet too soon.

Leave it in for longer. See
"Operation".

You are using "2 in 1" or
"3 in 1" tablets, which do
not have a strong enough
drying performance.

Set the Tab function (if
present) to "Normal", and
replenish the rinse aid.

The "2 in 1/3 in 1 Tab"
function (if present) is
switched on, even though
tablets are not being used.

Set the Tab function (if
present) to the detergent
product being used (see "Tab
function").

White residue is
visible on cutlery
and crockery,
clouding occurs
on glassware; film
can be wiped off.

Not enough rinse aid was
used.

Increase the dosage. See
"Before using for the first time
- Rinse aid".

There is no salt in the salt
reservoir.

Fill the salt reservoir. See
"Before using for the first time
- Filling the salt reservoir".

The salt reservoir cap has
not been screwed on
correctly.

Replace it, making sure that it
screws back on correctly.

An unsuitable "2 in 1" or
"3 in 1" tablet has been
used.

Change your detergent. Use a
standard liquid, tablet or
powder detergent.

The water softener is
programmed to a setting
which is too low.

Select a higher water softener
setting. See "Before using for
the first time - To programme
the water hardness level".
