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 the 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 regarding 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 program table).
Loading of the appliance 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 the upper rack or
the lower rack to increase washing
power and thus obtain optimum wash
results.
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 “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.
...have deposits: regeneration
salt residue
Water too hard. In areas with very hard water,
regeneration salt needs to be added
more often.
Salt reservoir cap open. Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
Not enough rinse aid. If you use a combined action detergent
(tablet/capsule), 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 appliance for a
long time after end of cycle (e.g. when
using “Delay” option).
In this situation, the presence of drops
of water on dishes and on the sides of
the appliance 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 of rinse aid. Increase the dosage of rinse aid.
Rapid program selected. The Rapid program 40°C / 45°C is
intended for quick washing lightly
soiled dishes. If used for a full load
of medium/heavy soiled dishes, the
dishes may not be dried 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
appliance.
