Crockery and cutlery...
Possible causes...
Solutions...
...are not perfectly clean/have food residues

Too little space between dishes (incorrect arrangement of the
concave items in the rack).
-
Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g. bowls, cups) must be arranged facing
downwards in the rack.

If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer’s indications as regards dosage. Always store detergent in a
dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.

-
For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see table of programs - page 1).
-
Loading of the dishwasher using lower and upper rack at the
same time with “Half load/Multizone” option.

If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to
increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
