Fault

Cause and troubleshooting

Remnants of food on
tableware.

Do not position tall narrow receptacles at too great
an angle or in corner areas.

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

Set the upper basket on the left and right to the
same height. 
→ 

"Top basket", Page 22

Removable streaks
are present on
glasses, glassware
with a metallic appear-
ance and cutlery.

Amount of rinse aid to be dispensed is set too high.

Set the rinse aid system to a lower setting. 
→ 

"Setting the amount of rinse aid", Page 27

No rinse aid has been added.

Add rinse aid. 
→ 

"Adding rinse aid", Page 27

Detergent residue is present in the final rinse. Lid of
the detergent dispenser is blocked by tableware items
and will not open fully.

1.

Arrange tableware in the top basket tableware so
the tab collecting tray is not obstructed by table-
ware. 
→ 

"Arrange tableware", Page 31

Items of tableware are blocking the dispenser lid.

2.

Do not place tableware or fragrance dispensers in
the tablet collecting tray.

Tableware has been precleaned too intensely. The
sensors chose a weaker programme. Stubborn soiling
cannot be entirely removed.

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

Rust spots on cutlery.

Cutlery is not sufficiently rust-resistant. Knife blades
are often more severely affected.

Use rust-resistant tableware.

Cutlery may also rust if washed together with rusting
items.

Do not wash rusting items.

Salt content in washing water is too high.

1.

Remove any spilled special salt from the tub.

2.

Screw the cap of the special salt dispenser on tight.

Detergent residue is
present in the deter-
gent dispenser or the
tablet collecting tray.

Spray arms were blocked by tableware so detergent
was not rinsed out.

Check that the spray arms are not blocked and can
rotate freely.
