Cause and remedy
The rinse aid dosage is too low or the rinse aid con-
tainer is empty.
 Replenish the rinse aid container, increase the
dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Be-
fore using for the first time" chapter, "Rinse aid"
section).
Dishes were taken out of the wash cabinet too soon.
 Leave dishes in longer (see "Operation" chapter,
"Unloading the dishwasher" section).
The duration of the drying phase for the selected pro-
gramme is not sufficient for the dishes.
 Select the Extra dry extra (see "Extras" chapter,
"Extra dry" section).
You have used combination products that have insuf-
ficient drying performance.
 Switch to another detergent, or replenish the rinse
aid (see "Before using for the first time" chapter,
"Rinse aid" section).
Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit.
 Switch to another detergent straight away.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surface
has altered.
 No remedy.
Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-proof.
The wash temperature of the selected programme
was too low.
 Select a programme with a higher main wash tem-
perature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low.
 Switch to another detergent.
Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup
may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or
its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with nat-
ural dyes.
 Use more detergent (see "Detergent" chapter).
Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to
their original colour.
