position
Dishes are not dry Improper loading:
Load the dishwasher as suggested in this manual.
Insufficient rinse agent supply:
Increase the dosage amount of rinse agent and/or
refill the rinse agent dispenser.
Dishes are removed too soon:
Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after
washing. Open the door slightly so that the steam can
escape. Begin with unloading the dishwasher when
the dishes are only hand warm. Empty the lower rack
first. This prevents water from dripping off dishes in
the upper rack.
Wrong program selection:
In short period programs, the wash temperature and
therefore the cleaning performance is lower. Choose
a program with a longer washing time.
Washing cutlery with worn surface:
Evaporation of water is more difficult with these items.
Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suited for
dishwashers.
