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.
Old detergent. Detergent is a perishable
product.
Dose according to water hardness. Far
too much or far too little detergent results
in poorer dishwashing results.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Select a higher temperature or a more
powerful programme.
Dishwashing programme too weak.
Do not cover porcelain with large bowls
or the like. Avoid placing very tall glasses
in the corners of the baskets.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Place dishes to sit steady.
Glasses and cups have toppled over
during the programme.
Screw the filter firmly into place. See the
section Care and cleaning.
The filter is not correctly fitted.
Check that the salt compartment lid is
properly tightened. Otherwise call the
service division.
The water softener is leaking salt.
Spots or films on the dishes.

Wash crystal at a low temperature and
with a conservative amount of detergent.
Contact the detergent manufacturer.
Too high temperature and/or too much
detergent can cause etching on crystal.
Unfortunately, this cannot be repaired,
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 foodstuffs if not
starting the dishwasher immediately. Why
not use the Rinse & Hold programme.

onnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt and dress-
ings, can cause spots on stainless steel

ing.

off.
