The dishes are not
clean.

There is some stubborn
soiling although most of the
crockery is only lightly soiled
(e.g. with tea stains).
Use the "Adjust Sensor
wash" function (see
"Additional functions").
Not enough detergent was
used.
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. See
"Cleaning and care".
The non-return valve is
blocked in the open position.
Dirty water has flowed back
into the wash cabinet.
Clean the drain pump and
the non-return valve. See
"Maintenance - Cleaning the
drain pump and non-return
valve".
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".
