press the RESET button (depending on model).

Close the door.
➯
Water drains automatically for up to 60 seconds.

Crockery and cutlery ...
Possible causes/solutions
...are not perfectly clean/have food
residues
-
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 programme with a
higher temperature (see table 1.1 on the first page).
-
If you select the “Half load/Multizone” function (if available),
remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to
increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
