Fault

Cause

troubleshooting

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

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 tableware. 

→ 

"Arrange tableware", Page 33

Items of tableware are blocking the
dispenser lid.

2.

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

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.

Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors.

"Sensors", Page 13

Irreversible clouding of
glassware.

Glasses are not dishwasher-
proof, only suitable for dish-
washers.

Use dishwasher-proof glasses.
Glasses are usually only suitable for
use in a dishwasher, i.e. long-term
wear or long-term changes must be
expected.

Avoid a lengthy steam phase
(standing time after wash cycle
ends).

Use a programme with a lower tem-
perature. 

→ 

"Programmes", Page 20

Set the softening system to the wa-
ter hardness.

Use detergent with a glass protec-
tion component.

Rust spots on cutlery.

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

Use rust-resistant tableware.

Cutlery may also rust if
washed together with rust-
ing items.

Do not wash rusting items.

Salt content in washing wa-
ter is too high.

1.

Remove any spilled special salt
from the tub.

2.

Screw the cap of the special salt
dispenser on tight.
