Possible causes
Problem
Remove the arms and clean them.
The spray arms do not rotate.
The dishes are not clean.
Check that the dishes are not blocking
the spray arms.
Avoid large packages.
Detergent is too old. Detergent is a
perishable product.
Dose according to water hardness. Far
too much or far too little detergent can
result in poor dishwashing results.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Select a higher temperature or a more
powerful program.
Dishwashing program too weak.
Do not cover dishes with large bowls
or lids. Avoid placing very tall glasses
in the corners of the baskets.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Load the dishes securely.
Glasses and cups have toppled over
during the program.
Screw the filter firmly into place. See
the section Care and maintenance in-
structions.
The filter is not correctly fitted.
See the sections Rinse aid and Set-
tings.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting.
Spots or films on the dishes.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and
with a conservative amount of deter-
gent. Contact the detergent manufac-
turer.
Too high temperature and/or too much
detergent can cause etching on crys-
tal. Unfortunately, this cannot be re-
paired, only prevented.
Reduce the amount. See the sections
Rinse aid and Settings. If you have
very soft water, you may want to dilute
the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
Rinse aid dosage setting too high.
The dishes have a sticky white/blue
film.
Rinse off these types of food if not
starting the dishwasher immediately.
Or why not run the Rinse & Hold pro-
gram?
Some types of food, such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and
dressings, can cause spots on stain-
less steel if left for too long.
Spots on stainless steel or silver.
Silver and stainless steel items should
not come into contact during dishwash-
ing.
All stainless steel can cause spots on
silver if they come into contact during
dishwashing. Aluminum can also
cause spots on dishes.
Use a detergent with a bleaching
agent.
Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash
off.
Spots left after washing.
Check that the dishes are placed se-
curely. Spin the spray arms to make
sure they can rotate.
