Possible cause and solution
The stainless steel is of insufficient quality for machine
reprocessing.
Only use stainless steel items made of high quality

stainless steel and follow the instructions of the
manufacturer regarding machine reprocessing.
The chloride content in the water is too high.
Have a water analysis check carried out. Connection to

an external water processing unit and the use of
demineralized water may be necessary.
Neutralization has not taken place during the program.
Check the level in the supply container and vent the

dispensing system if necessary.
Rust or superficial rust has built up in the wash cabinet,
e.g. due to an excessively high iron content in the water or
rust on other wash load items.
Check the installation.

Discard any rusty items.

Possible cause and solution
The rotation speed set has not been reached.
– Wash items are obstructing the machine or basket spray
arms.
Arrange the wash items so that the spray arms can turn

easily and start the program again.
– The relevant spray arm is blocked.
Clean the spray arm.

Check whether the filters in the wash cabinet are clean

and correctly inserted.
Start the program again.

– Wash pressure is too low due to a heavy build-up of
foam.
Follow the instructions regarding foam build-up in

"Chemical processes and technology".
Rinse
Start the program to clean the wash cabinet.

Then reprocess the wash items again.
