Possible cause
The rinse aid dosage is
set too high.
The water hardness se-
lector in the wash cabinet
is incorrectly set.
Glassware is not dish-
washer safe. The sur-
faces are damaged.
Natural dyes e. g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup may be the
cause. The amount of de-
tergent used or its
bleaching effect was not
sufficient to deal with nat-
ural dyes.
The salt reservoir cap
was not screwed on
tightly.
The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.
The dispenser was still
damp when detergent
was added.
Clogged detergent resi-
due is blocking the catch.

time".

ting, see "Before using for
