Possible cause and solution
The rinse aid dosage is too low.
Increase the dosage (see "Additional settings, Additional

functions, Dispensing systems").
The salt reservoir is empty.
Fill the salt reservoir (see "Filling the salt reservoir").

The water softener is programmed to too low for the water
hardness level.
Program the water softener to the correct value (see

"Additional settings, Water hardness").
Detergent deposits.
Switch to another detergent right away.

The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces are
affected.
In the future make sure you purchase dishwasher-proof
glassware.
The wash temperature of the selected program was too
low.
Select a program with a higher wash temperature.

The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low.
Switch to another detergent.

Natural dyes e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup may be
the cause. The amount of detergent used or its bleaching
effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes.
Use more detergent (see "Operation, Adding detergent").

Discolored plastic items will not regain their original color.
The "Cold" program was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have gotten into the wash cycle.
Always run the "Cold" program without a load after

refilling salt.
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
