be removed with chemicals (appli-
ance cleaner, ...).
Change detergent brand.
Clean appliance mechanically.
If there is a “white coating” on the

system has been set very low.
Increase softening setting and change deter-
gent if required.

dishes.

soiling cannot be completely
removed.
Do not prerinse dishes. Remove only large
food soils.
Increase sensitivity of the sensors.
Recommended wash cycle "Regular"
