Troubleshooting

Coloured coatings (blue, yel-
low, brown) that are difficult
or impossible to remove are
present inside the appliance
or on stainless steel table-
ware.

You can remove deposits with
"Mechanical cleaning"

Page 42

or a machine cleaning product. It
may not always be possible to com-
pletely remove deposits but they
are harmless to health.

Coloured deposits (yellow,
orange, brown) that are easy
to remove are present inside
the appliance (mainly at the
bottom).

The formation of films is due
to ingredients of food rem-
nants and tap water (limes-
cale) "soaplike".

1.

Check the setting of the water
softening system.

2.

Add special salt.

→ 

"Adding special salt", Page 28

3.

If you are using combined deter-
gents (tabs), activate the water
softening system.
Follow the information about deter-
gents.

"Information on detergents",

Page 32

Plastic parts inside the appli-
ance are discoloured.

Plastic parts inside the appli-
ance may become discol-
oured during the life of the
dishwasher.

Discolouration can come about and
will not impair functioning of the ap-
pliance.

Plastic parts are discol-
oured.

Washing temperature is too
low.

Select a programme with a higher
washing temperature. 

→ 

"Programmes", Page 19

Tableware has been pre-
cleaned too intensely. The
sensors chose a weaker pro-
gramme. Stubborn soiling
cannot be entirely removed.

Only remove large remnants of food
and do not prerinse tableware.

Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors. 

→ 

"Sensors", Page 12

Removable streaks are
present on glasses, glass-
ware with a metallic appear-
ance and cutlery.

Amount of rinse aid to be
dispensed is set too high.

Set the rinse aid system to a lower
setting.

No rinse aid has been ad-
ded.

→ 

"Adding rinse aid", Page 29

Detergent residue is present
in the final rinse. Lid of the
detergent dispenser is
blocked by tableware items
and will not open fully.

1.

Arrange tableware in the top basket
tableware so the tab collecting tray
is not obstructed by tableware. 

→ 

"Arrange tableware", Page 34

Items of tableware are blocking the
dispenser lid.

2.

Do not place tableware or fra-
grance dispensers in the tablet col-
lecting tray.
