Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Glassware has a
brown or blue tinge,
and film cannot be
wiped off.

This may be caused by the
detergent.

Change your detergent.

Glassware is dull and
discoloured; film
cannot be wiped off.

The glassware is not
dishwasher-proof. The
surfaces are affected.

There is no remedy.
Purchase glassware which
is dishwasher-proof.

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 used is too low.

Change your detergent.

Plastic items are
discoloured.

Natural dyes e.g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup 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
"Operation".
Discolouration is irreversi-
ble.

There are rust stains
on cutlery.

The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.

There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is
dishwasher-proof.

The Quick wash
programme

40 °C was

not run after dishwasher
salt was added. Traces of
salt have got into the wash
cycle.

Always run the Quick wash
programme

40 °C,

without any crockery in the
dishwasher, after adding
dishwasher salt.

The salt reservoir cap has
not been screwed on
correctly.

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