guide”).

ing present.

Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.
Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can ro-
tate freely.
The filter system in the base of the wash chamber is
not clean or is not correctly fitted.
This may cause the spray arm jets to become
blocked.
Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.
Clean the spray arm jets, if necessary (see “Clean-
ing and care – Cleaning the spray arms”).
The non-return valve is open and blocked. Dirty water
has flowed back into the wash chamber.
Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve
(see “Frequently asked questions”).

glassware and cutlery.
There is a bluish sheen
on the surface of glass-
ware; film can be wiped
off.
The rinse aid dosage is set too high.
