What to do if...
Crockery and cutlery...
Possible causes...
Solutions...
...are not perfectly clean/have food
residues
- Too little space between dishes (incorrect
arrangement of the concave items in the rack).
- Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g.
bowls, cups) must be arranged facing downwards in the rack.
- Too little detergent; detergent too old or
incorrectly stored.
- If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer’s indications as
regards dosage. Always store detergent in a dry place and do not store it for
excessively long periods of time.
- Temperature not high enough for heavily
soiled crockery.
- For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see
Table of programs - chapter “Chart” - page 2).
- Loading of the dishwasher using lower and
upper rack at the same time with “Half
load/Multizone” option.
- If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load only
the upper rack or only the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain
optimum wash results.
- Frequent use of Eco 50°C.
- In the event of frequent use of the Eco 50°C program (if available), from time to
time select the Intensive 65°C program (if available).
- Clogged spray arms, dirty filters or not
fitted correctly.
- The spray arms must not be clogged, the filters must not be dirty and must be
fitted correctly (see page 8, “Maintenance and care“).
- Spray arms stuck impeded by crockery or
cutlery.
- The spray arms must be able to turn freely and must not be impeded by crockery or cutlery.
...salt indicator lit
- Use tablets for soft water.
- Set “Tablet” option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.
...have deposits: regeneration salt
residue
- Water too hard.
- In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 3,
“How to set water hardness”).
- Salt reservoir cap open.
- Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
- Not enough rinse aid.
- If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
...are not dry
- Plastic containers dry badly.
- Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry.
- Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long
time after end of cycle (e.g. when using
“Delayed start” option).
- In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the
dishwasher is normal.
Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
- Incorrect arrangement of the concave
items in the rack.
- Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
- Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.
- Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 4, “Adding rinse aid”).
- Rapid program selected.
- The Rapid program 40°C / 45°C is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled
dishes. If used for a full load of medium/heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry
completely. If so, select a standard-length program. For best results, open the door
after the end of the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
