Possible cause and solution
The rinse aid dosage is set too low or the rinse aid
reservoir is empty.
 Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage, or
change the brand of rinse aid (see "Before using
for the first time – Rinse aid").
Dishware was taken out of the chamber too soon.
 Leave it in for longer (see "Operation").
Detergent deposits.
 Switch to another detergent right away.
The glassware is not dishwasher-safe. The surfaces
are affected.
 Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-safe.
The wash temperature of the selected program was
too low.
 Select a program with a higher wash temperature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low.
 Switch to another detergent.
Natural dyes e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup
may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or
its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with nat-
ural dyes.
 Use more detergent (see "Operation, Adding de-
tergent").
Discolored plastic items will not regain their original
color.
