Possible cause and remedy
The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the
rinse aid reservoir is empty.
 Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dosage or
change the brand of rinse aid used (see "Adding
rinse aid").
Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon.
 Leave it in for longer (see "Operation").
Not enough rinse aid was added.
 Increase the dosage (see "Settings menu,
").
aid
There is no dishwasher salt in the salt reservoir.
 Fill the salt reservoir (see "Filling the salt
reservoir").
The water softener is programmed to a setting which
is too low for the water hardness level.
 Programme the water softener to the correct value
(see "Settings, Water hardness").
This is caused by ingredients in the cleaning agent.
 Change your detergent.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces
are affected.
 Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-proof.
The wash temperature of the selected programme
was too low.
 Select a programme with a higher wash
temperature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low.
 Change your detergent.
Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots or tomatoes may be
the cause. The amount of detergent used or its
bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural
dyes.
 Use more cleaning agent (see "Operation, Adding
detergent").
Discoloured plastic items will not regain their original
colour.
