Possible causes
Some foodstuffs, such as
mustard, mayonnaise, lemon,
vinegar, salt and dressings, can
cause spots on stainless steel if
left for too long.
All stainless steel can cause
spots on silver if they come into
contact during dishwashing.
Aluminium can also cause spots
on dishes.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage
setting.
The setting TAB 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.
Action
Rinse off these types of
foodstuffs 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 aluminium.
See the chapter Settings.
Switch all-in-one detergents or
deactivate the setting TAB and
top up with salt and separate
rinse aid. See Rinse aid in the
chapter Settings.
Top up with salt. See the
chapter Care and cleaning.
See Water hardness in the
chapter Settings.
Check that the salt compartment
lid is properly tightened.
Otherwise contact your nearest
service centre.
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.
