Problem
Cause and remedy
Dishes are not dry or
cutlery and glasses are
flecked.
The rinse aid dosage is set too low or the rinse aid
reservoir or container is empty.
Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or
change the brand of rinse aid (see “Before using
for the first time, Rinse aid”).
Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon.
Leave it in for longer (see “Operation”).
Glassware has a brown
or blue tinge, and film
cannot be wiped off.
This is caused by ingredients in the cleaning agent.
Change your brand.
Glassware is dull and
discoloured; film cannot
be wiped off.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces
are affected.
Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-proof.
Tea or lipstick stains
have not been com-
pletely removed.
The wash temperature of the selected programme
was too low.
Select a programme with a higher wash temperat-
ure.
The bleaching effect of the cleaning agent used is too
low.
Change your brand.
Plastic items are discol-
oured.
Natural dyes e.g. from carrots or tomatoes may be the
cause. The amount of cleaning agent used or its
bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural
dyes.
Use more cleaning agent (see “Operation, Deter-
gent”).
Discoloured plastic items will not regain their original
colour.
