low basket first. This prevents water from dropping off
dishes in the upper basket.
Wrong program has been
selected
In short program the rinse temperature is lower. This
also lowers cleaning performance. Choose a program
with a long high rinse temperature.
Use of cutlery with a low-
quality coating
