There is some stubborn
soiling although most of the
crockery is only lightly soiled
(e.g. with tea stains).
Use the Adjust Sensor wash
function (see Additional
functions).
Not enough detergent was
dispensed.
Use more detergent, or
change your detergent.
Items are blocking the path
of the spray arms.
Rearrange the items so that
the spray arms can rotate
freely.
The filter combination in the
base of the wash cabinet is
not clean or is not correctly
fitted. This may cause the
spray arm jets to get
blocked.
Clean and/or fit the filter
combination correctly. Clean
the spray arm jets. See
Cleaning and care.
The non-return valve is open
and blocked. Dirty water has
flowed back into the wash
cabinet.
Clean the drain pump and
the non-return valve. See
Maintenance - Cleaning the
drain pump and non-return
valve.
Smearing appears
on glassware and
cutlery, there is a
bluish sheen on
the surface of
glassware; film can
be wiped off.

too high.
Reduce the dosage. See
Before using for the first time
