Possible cause and solution
• For the best drying performance activate the option
XtraDry and set AirDry .
• The programme does not have a drying phase or
has a drying phase with low temperature.
• The rinse aid dispenser is empty.
• The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.
• The quality of the multi-tablets can be the cause.
Try a different brand or activate the rinse aid dis‐
penser and use the rinse aid and multi-tablets to‐
gether.
• This is not a defect of the appliance. Humid air con‐
densates on the appliance walls.
• Use the detergent designed specifically for dish‐
washers.
• Use a detergent from a different manufacturer.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water before
putting them in the appliance.
• There is too much salt in the water used for wash‐
ing. Refer to "The water softener".
• Silver and stainless steel cutlery were placed to‐
gether. Avoid to put silver and stainless steel items
close together.
• The detergent tablet was stuck in the dispenser
and therefore was not completely washed away by
water.
• Water cannot wash away the detergent from the
dispenser. Make sure that the spray arms are not
blocked or clogged.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not impede
the lid of the detergent dispenser from opening.
• The level of salt is low, check the refill indicator.

ener".
