Possible causes
The spray arms do not rotate.
Detergent is too old. Detergent is a perish-
able product.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Dishwashing program too weak.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Glasses and cups have toppled over
during the program.
The filter is not correctly fitted.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting.
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.
Some types of food, 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 sil-
ver if they come into contact during dish-
washing. Aluminum can also cause spots
on dishes.
Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash
off.
The dishes are not correctly placed or the
spray arms are not rotating.

Action
Remove the arms and clean them.
Check that the dishes are not blocking
the spray arms.
Avoid large packages.
Dose according to water hardness. Far
too much or far too little detergent can
result in poor dishwashing results.
Select a higher temperature or a more
powerful program.
Do not cover dishes with large bowls or
lids. Avoid placing very tall glasses in the
corners of the baskets.
Load the dishes securely.
Screw the filter firmly into place. See the
section Care and maintenance instruc-
tions.
See the sections Rinse aid and Settings.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and
with a conservative amount of detergent.
Contact the detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the amount. See the sections
Rinse aid and Settings. If you have very
soft water, you may want to dilute the
rinse aid 50:50 with water.
Rinse off these types of food if not starting
the dishwasher immediately. Or why not
run the Rinse & Hold program?
Silver and stainless steel items should
not come into contact during dishwash-
ing.
Use a detergent with a bleaching agent.
Check that the dishes are placed secure-
ly. Spin the spray arms to make sure they
can rotate.
