THE WASHING AND DRYING RESULTS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
Problem
Possible cause and solution
Poor washing results.
• Refer to "Daily use", "Hints and tips" and the basket load-
ing leaflet.
• Use more intensive washing programme.
• Activate the Extra Power option to improve the washing re-
sults of a selected programme.
• Clean spray arm jets and filter. Refer to "Care and Clean-
ing".
Poor drying results.
• Tableware was left for too long inside the closed appliance.
Activate AirDry to set the automatic opening of the door and
to improve the drying performance.
• There is no rinse aid or the dosage of rinse aid is not suffi-
cient. Fill the rinse aid dispenser or set the level of rinse aid
to a higher level.
• The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.
• We recommend to use rinse aid always, even in combination
with multi-tablets.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• The programme does not have the drying phase. Refer to
"Programmes overview".
There are whitish streaks or blu-
ish layers on glasses and dishes.
• The released quantity of rinse aid is too high. Adjust the rinse
aid level to a lower level.

drops on glasses and dishes.
• The released quantity of rinse aid is not sufficient. Adjust the
rinse aid level to a higher level.
• The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.

• There is a leak in the rinse aid dispenser. Contact an Author-
ised Service Centre.

"The water softener".
• Silver and stainless steel cutlery were placed together. Do
not put silver and stainless steel items close together.

in the dispenser at the end of the
programme.
• The detergent tablet was stuck in the dispenser and therefore
was not completely washed away by water.

the detergent dispenser from opening.
Odours inside the appliance.
