General problems

Problem

Possible cause and remedy

The door will not open

when knocked.

The

Knock2open

function has been permanently disa‐

bled.



Switch the door opening mechanism on again (see

"Settings menu - Knock2open").

If the door will still not open or if there is a power cut,

the door can still be opened with the door opening

device supplied (see "Before using for the first time -

Emergency door opener").

The interior lighting

doesn't switch on when

the door is opened.

The interior lighting has been switched off perma‐

nently.



Switch the lighting back on again (see "Settings

menu - BrilliantLight").

The following fault ap‐

pears in the display:



Salt reservoir lid

During the programme

the warning buzzer is

also sounding and the

TimeControl in opera‐

tion indicator lights are

flashing.

The salt reservoir lid has not been closed properly.



Close the salt reservoir lid.

If the salt reservoir lid has opened during a pro‐

gramme:



Switch the dishwasher off and on again with the



sensor.



Close the salt reservoir lid.



Start the programme again.

Detergent residue is left

in the dispenser at the

end of a programme.

The dispenser was still damp when detergent was

added.



Make sure the dispenser is dry before adding de‐

tergent.

The detergent dispens‐

er lid cannot be closed

properly.

Clogged detergent residue is blocking the catch.



Clean the detergent from the catch.

At the end of a pro‐

gramme there is a film

of moisture on the in‐

side of the door and the

interior walls.

This is caused by the drying system and does not in‐

dicate a fault. The moisture will dissipate after a

while.
