Problem
The dishes are not clean.
Spots on stainless steel or silver.
Spots or films on the dishes.
The dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
Spots left after washing.
Detergent residue in the detergent compartment
after dishwashing.
Rattling sound when dishwashing.
"Program paused" is shown on the display.
Possible causes
The spray arms do not rotate.
Spray arm holes or bearings blocked.
Unsuitable dishwashing program.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Detergent is too old. Detergent is a perishable
product.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Glasses and cups have toppled over during the
program.
The filters are not fitted correctly.
Some types of food, such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and dressings,
can mark stainless steel if left for too long.
All stainless steel can cause spots on silver if
they come into contact during dishwashing.
Aluminum can also cause spots on dishes.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting.
Too high temperature and/or too much detergent
can cause etching on crystal. Unfortunately, this
cannot be repaired, only prevented.
Rinse aid dosage setting too high.
Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash off.
The detergent compartment was damp when
adding detergent.
The detergent compartment has been blocked.
The dishes are not correctly placed or the spray
arms are not rotating.
The dishwasher door has been opened while a
program is in progress.
Action
Check that the dishes are not blocking the spray
arms.
Clean the spray arms. See the chapter Care and
maintenance instructions.
Choose a longer program.
Dose according to water hardness. Far too much
or far too little detergent can result in poor
dishwashing results.
Avoid large packages.
Do not cover dishes with large bowls or lids.
Avoid placing very tall glasses in the corners of
the baskets.
Load the dishes securely.
Check that the filter handle is locked in the stop
position. The handle should point straight out
from the dishwasher.
Rinse off these types of food if not starting the
dishwasher immediately. Use the Rinse and hold
program.
In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate
dishes made from different metals, such as silver,
stainless steel, and aluminum.
See the chapter Settings.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and with a
conservative amount of detergent. Contact the
detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the dosage. See the chapter Settings.
If you have very soft water, you may want to dilute
the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
Use a detergent with a bleaching agent.
The detergent compartment must be dry when
adding detergent.
Check that the dishes are not preventing the
detergent compartment from opening.
Check that the dishes are placed securely. Spin
the spray arms to make sure they can rotate.
If you want the dishwashing program to continue,
press Start/Stop and close the door within five
seconds.
If you want to cancel the dishwashing program,
press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds.
