TROUBLE SHOOTING - DISHWASHING RESULTS
FAULT - POOR WASHING PERFORMANCE
Possible causes
1. Rotation of spray arms prevented by protruding object. Check also that jets in the spray arms are
not clogged.
2. Spray arms slowed down by impurities in the bearings. Spin the arms by hand and if they do not
spin freely lift them off and wipe the fittings clean.
3. Insufficient flow of water in the machine. Check the inlet hose for kinks or sharp bends.
4. Deteriorated detergent. Do not use old or caked detergent. Keep the detergent dry and cool in a
closed pack. Remember that detergent is perishable. Avoid large packs.
5. Inferior detergent. Try a different one.
6. Unsuitable dosing of detergent. Ensure that the dose suits hardness of the water.
7. The fine filter is not fitted properly. If it is soiled, clean it.
8. Wash programme is too weak. Change to a more intensive programme and higher temperature.
9. Dishware not arranged properly. Make certain that soiled parts face downwards and inwards.
FAULT - GREY FILM OR MARKS ON WASHED DISHWARE
Possible causes
To establish the cause of the grey film make a test using distilled water: Pour on a few drops, rub
thoroughly and dry. Clean? If so, the cause can be one of the following:
• Inadequate drain pumping. Adjust, Check that the outlet hose is not kinked or sharply bent.
• Glasses and cups have tipped over.
• Salt leaking from the softener. Make certain the lid is tight, otherwise call for service.
• Rinse-aid dispenser incorrectly set. Adjust, see Rinse aid.
Not cleaned with distilled water? Test using citric acid: Dissolve 1 tsp citric acid in 1 dl boiling water.
Pour on a few drops, rub thoroughly and dry.
Did citric acid make it clean? If so, the fault can be one of the following:
• Malfunctioning or incorrectly set softener. Salt
• Wrong type of salt. Replace the salt.
• Salt container is empty. Refill, see Salt.
• Very hard water. Compensate with acidic rinse aid.
