Problem solving guide

Unsatisfactory washing result

Problem

Possible cause and remedy

The dishes are not
clean.

The dishes were not loaded correctly.



See notes in "Loading the dishwasher".

The programme was not powerful enough.



Select a more intensive programme (see
"Programme chart").

There is some stubborn soiling although most of the
crockery is only lightly soiled (e.g. with tea stains).



Use the

Automatic

programme option (see

"Settings menu - Automatic").

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 if necessary (see
"Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms").

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").

Smearing appears on
glassware and cutlery,
there is a bluish sheen
on the surface of
glassware; film can be
wiped off.

The rinse aid dosage is set too high.



Reduce the dosage (see "Settings menu - Rinse
aid").
