Remnants of food on table-
ware.

Arrange tableware with sufficient
space in between.
The spray jets must reach the sur-
faces of the tableware.

2.

Avoid points of contact.

rectly and/or not engaged.

"Filter system", Page 36

2.

Engage the filters.

Washing programme selec-
ted too weak.

Select a more intensive washing
programme.

"Programmes", Page 17

Tableware has been pre-
cleaned too intensely. The
sensors chose a weaker pro-
gramme. Stubborn soiling
cannot be entirely removed.

Only remove large remnants of food
and do not prerinse tableware.

Tall narrow receptacles in
corner areas are not rinsed
adequately.

Do not position tall narrow recept-
acles at too great an angle or in
corner areas.

Top baskets on right and left
are not set to same height.

Set the top baskets on the left and
right to the same level.

Detergent residue in the ap-
pliance

Lid of the detergent dis-
penser is blocked by items
of tableware parts and will
not open.

1.

Arrange tableware in the top basket
tableware so the tab collecting tray
is not obstructed by tableware. 

→ 

"Arrange tableware", Page 29

Items of tableware are blocking the
dispenser lid.

2.

Do not place tableware or fra-
grance dispensers in the tablet col-
lecting tray.

The lid of the detergent dis-
penser is blocked by the tab
and will not open.

Position the tab in the detergent dis-
penser crosswise, not vertically.
