Problem
Possible cause and remedy
White residue is visible
on cutlery and crock‐
ery, clouding occurs on
glassware; film can be
wiped off.
Not enough rinse aid was used.
Increase the dosage (see "Settings menu - Rinse
aid").
There is no salt in the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first
time - Dishwasher salt").
An unsuitable combination detergent has been used.
Change your detergent. Use a standard liquid,
tablet or powder detergent, and fill the salt and
rinse aid reservoirs in the dishwasher.
The water softener is programmed to too low a water
hardness level.
Programme the water softener to a higher water
hardness level (see "Settings menu - Water hard‐
ness").
There are rust stains on
cutlery.
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle.
Always run the
Quick wash
programme with the
Short
programme option selected and without any
crockery in the dishwasher after adding dishwash‐
er salt.
