Problem
Possible cause and remedy
White residue is visible
on the dishware.
Clouding has occurred
on glassware and
cutlery. The film can be
wiped off.
Not enough rinse aid was added.
Increase the dosage (see “Using for the first time –
Rinse aid”).
The salt reservoir is empty.
Fill the salt reservoir (see “Using for the first time -
Dishwasher salt”).
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on
correctly.
Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
Unsuitable combination detergents were used.
Change your detergent. If using tabs or powder
detergent, do not choose combination products
and ensure you refill the reactivation salt and rinse
aid.
The water softener is programmed to a setting which
is too low for the water hardness level.
Programme the water softener to a higher water
hardness level (see “Using for the first time –
Water softener”).
There are rust stains on
cutlery.
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher safe.
A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have gotten into the normal
wash cycle.
Always run the
65 °C
QuickPowerWash
programme with the
Express
option selected
and without any load in the dishwasher
immediately after adding dishwasher salt.
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on
correctly.
Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
