Cause and remedy
The rinsing agent dosage is set too low.
Increase the dosage (see "Further settings, Additional
functions, Dispensing systems").
There is no salt in the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir (see "Filling the salt reservoir").
The water softener is programmed to too low a water
hardness level.
Programme the water softener to the correct value (see
"Further settings, Water hardness").
This is caused by ingredients in the cleaning agent.
Change your brand.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces are
affected.
In future make sure you purchase dishwasher-proof
glassware.
The wash temperature of the selected programme was too
low.
Select a programme with a higher wash temperature.
The bleaching effect of the cleaning agent used is too low.
Change your brand.
Natural dyes e.g. from carrots or tomatoes may be the
cause. The amount of cleaning agent used or its bleaching
effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes.
Use more cleaning agent (see "Operation, Adding
cleaning agent").
Discoloured plastic items will not regain their original
colour.
The "Cold" programme was not run after dishwasher salt
was added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle.
Always run the "Cold" programme without a load after
refilling salt.
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
