Glassware is dull
and discoloured;
film cannot be wiped
off.

dishwasher-proof. The
surfaces are affected.

Purchase glassware which
is dishwasher-proof.

have not been
completely removed.

the selected programme
was too low.
Select a programme with a
higher wash temperature.

detergent used is too low.
Change your detergent.
Plastic items are
discoloured.
Natural dyes e.g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup may be the cause.
The amount of detergent
used or its bleaching effect
was not sufficient to deal
with natural dyes.
Use more detergent (see
"Operation - Detergent").
Discolouration is irreversi-
ble.

on cutlery.
