Possible cause
Glassware is not
dishwasherproof. The sur-
faces are affected.
The wash temperature of
the selected programme
was too low.
The bleaching effect of the
detergent used is too low.
Natural dyes e.g. from car-
rots, tomatoes or ketchup
may be the cause. The
amount of detergent used
or its bleaching effect was
not sufficient to deal with
natural dyes.
The salt reservoir cap has
not been screwed on cor-
rectly.
The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.
The "Pre-wash" programme
was not run after dish-
washer salt was added.
Traces of salt have got into
the wash cycle.
Remedy
There is no remedy.
Purchase glassware which
is dishwasher-proof.
Select a programme with a
higher wash temperature.
Use a different type of de-
tergent.
Use more detergent, see
"Operating the dish-
washer".
Discolouration is irreversi-
ble.
Replace it making sure it
screws back on correctly.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is
dishwasher-proof.
Always run the "Pre-wash"
programme after adding
dishwasher salt.
