General problems
Improper detergent.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let the suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to
the tub. Close and latch the door then
start the RAPID wash to drain out the
water. Repeat if necessary.

Always wipe up rinse-aid spills
immediately.

was used.
Make sure that the detergent is one
without colourant.

To clean the interior, use a damp
sponge with dishwasher detergent and
wear rubber gloves. Never use any
other cleaner than dishwasher detergent
for the risk of foaming or suds.
The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.
A program was not run after
dishwasher salt was added.
Traces of salt have got into
the wash cycle.
Always run the RAPID wash program
without any crockery in the dishwasher
after adding dishwasher salt.
There are rust
stains on cutlery.
The lid of the softener is
loose.
Check the lip and ensure the fix is fine.
