Possible cause
The selected wash tem-
perature was too low.
Old or non-chlorinated

Natural dyes from carrots,

was not sufficient to deal
with these dyes.
Not enough rinse aid was
dispensed.
There is no salt in the res-
ervoir.
The water softener is set
too low.
The salt reservoir cap is
not screwed on properly.
Phosphate-free detergent
was used.
Not enough rinse aid was
dispensed or the rinse aid
reservoir is empty.
The dishes were un-
loaded too soon.
Glasses are not dish-
washer safe.
Remedy
Select a program with a
higher wash temperature.
Use fresh detergent con-
taining chlorine.
Use an adequate amount
of detergent containing
chlorine. See "Adding de-
tergent".
See "Adding rinse aid" to
increase the dosage.
The "Salt - PC" indicator
is lit. See "Filling the salt
reservoir".
Adjust to a higher setting;
see "Before using the first
time".
Screw the cap on firmly.
Try a detergent contain-
ing phosphates.
Increase the dosage or
add rinse aid; see
"Adding rinse aid".
Allow dishes to cool be-
fore unloading them; see
"Unloading the dishes".
This is permanent and
cannot be reversed.
Always use dishwasher
safe glasses.
