Fault, what to do?
Food remnants on the utensils.
Utensils placed too closely together,
utensils basket overfilled.
Arrange utensils with adequate clearance
between them ensuring that the spray jets can
reach the surface of the utensils. Prevent con-
tact points.
Spray arm rotation obstructed.
Arrange utensils so that the spray arm can
rotate without obstruction.
Spray arm nozzles are blocked.
Clean the spray arm nozzles,
(see “Cleaning and maintenance”).
Filters
1Z
dirty.
Clean filters (see “Cleaning and mainte-
nance”).
Filters
1Z
inserted incorrectly and/or
not engaged.
Insert and engage filters correctly.
Rinse programme too weak.
Select a more intensive rinse programme.
Utensils precleaned too intensely; sen-
sors therefore decide on weak pro-
gramme sequence. Stubborn soiling
cannot be completely removed.
Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large
food remnants.
Recommended programme Eco 50° or Inten-
sive.
Tall narrow receptacles in corner areas
are not rinsed adequately.
Do not place hollow receptacles too obliquely
and do not place in the corner area.
Top basket
12
on right and left not
set to same height.
Set top basket to same height using side
levers.
Detergent residue.
Detergent dispenser cover blocked by
utensils and therefore does not open
fully.
Detergent dispenser cover must not be
obstructed by utensils.
Do not place utensils or fragrance dispenser in
the tablet collecting tray.
Detergent dispenser cover blocked by
the tablet.
Tablet must be inserted flat and not upright.
Tablets used in the quick or short pro-
gramme.
Dissolving time of the detergent is not
reached in the selected short pro-
gramme.
Dissolving time of tablets too long for a quick
or short programme.
Use a detergent powder or select a more inten-
sive programme.
Washing effect and dissolving perfor-
mance are reduced after a prolonged
storage time or detergent is very lumpy.
Change detergent.
Water stains on plastic parts.
Droplet formation on plastic surface is
physically unavoidable. After drying,
water stains are visible.
Use a more intensive programme (more water
changes).
Arrange utensils in a sloping position.
Use rinse aid.
If required, increase softening setting.
Washable or water-soluble coat-
ings in the container or on the
door.
Detergent substances are deposited.
These coatings cannot usually be
removed with chemicals (appliance
cleaner, ...).
Change detergent brand.
Clean appliance mechanically.
If there is a “white coating” on the con-
tainer floor, the water softening system
has been set marginally.
Increase softening setting and change deter-
gent if required.
Salt dispenser cover
1R
not closed.
Close salt dispenser cover correctly.
Only for glasses: Initial glass corrosion
– can only apparently be wiped off.
See “Glass and utensil damage”.
