Fault
Plastic parts discoloured.
Removable streaks on
glasses, glasses with
metallic appearance and
cutlery.
Initial or existing
irreversible clouding of
glass.
Rust spots on the cutlery.
* Depending on the features of your dishwasher
Reason
Rinsing temperature too low.
Dishes precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore opt for weak
programme sequence. Stubborn
soiling cannot be completely
removed.
Too much rinse aid.
No rinse aid added or setting too
low.
Detergent residue in the final
rinse. Detergent dispenser cover
blocked by dishes (cover does
not open fully).
Dishes precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore opt for weak
programme sequence. Stubborn
soiling cannot be completely
removed.
Glasses not dishwasher-proof,
only suitable for dishwashers.
Cutlery is not sufficiently
rust-resistant.Knife blades are
frequently more severely
affected.
Cutlery will also rust if rusting
parts are rinsed at the same time
(pan handles, damaged utensil
baskets, etc.).
Salt content in the rinsing water
too high, as salt dispenser lock
not fastened firmly or salt was
spilled while being refilled.
