Fault
Removable streaks on
glasses, glasses with
metallic appearance and
cutlery.
Initial or existing,
irreversible clouding of
glass.
Rust spots on the cutlery.
Appliance does not start.
Programme starts
automatically.
Cause
Too much rinse aid.
No rinse aid added or setting too
low.
Detergent residue in the final
rinse programme section.
Detergent dispenser cover
blocked by utensils (cover does
not open fully).
Utensils precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore decide on
weak programme sequence.
Stubborn soiling cannot be
completely removed.
Glasses not dishwasher-proof,
only suitable for dishwasher.
Cutlery not adequately rust-
resistant. Knife blades are
frequently more severely
affected.
Cutlery will also rust if rusting
parts are rinsed at the same time
(pan handles, damaged utensil
baskets, etc.).
Salt content in the rinsing water
too high, as salt dispenser lock
not fastened firmly or salt was
spilled while being refilled.
The mains fuse has tripped.
Power cord not inserted.
The appliance door has not been
shut properly.
You did not wait until programme
ended.
