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.
The TAB setting is activated and all-in-one
detergent with insufficient drying effect is being
used.
Salt compartment empty.
Incorrect water softener setting.
The water softener is leaking salt.
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.
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.
Switch all-in-one detergents or deactivate the
TAB setting and top up with salt and separate
rinse aid. See Rinse aid in the chapter Settings.
Top up with salt. See the chapter Before washing
for the first time.
See Water hardness in the chapter Settings.
Check that the salt compartment lid is properly
tightened. Otherwise call the Customer Care
Center.
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.
