Poor cleaning results

Problem

Possible fault

Solution

The dishes are
not clean.

The dishes were not loaded
correctly.

See "Loading the dishwasher".

The program was not intensive
enough.

Select a more intensive
program (see "Program
guide").

Not enough detergent was
dispensed.

Use more detergent, or switch
to another detergent.

The spray arms are blocked
by dishware.

Check by turning the spray
arms and rearrange the dishes
if necessary.

The triple filter in the wash
cabinet is clogged or not
correctly inserted.
The spray arm jets might be
clogged as a result.

Clean the triple filter or insert it
correctly.
Clean the spray arm jets, if
necessary (see "Cleaning and
care").

The non-return valve is stuck
in the open position. Dirty
wash water will run back into
the wash cabinet.

Clean the drain pump and the
non-return valve (see "User
maintenance instructions").

There are streaks
on the glasses
and cutlery.
There is a bluish
sheen on the
glasses; the
deposit can be
wiped off.

The rinse aid dosage is set too
high.

Reduce the dosage (see
"Rinse aid").
