Possible cause and solution
• Refer to "Daily use", "Hints and tips" and basket
loading leaflet.
• Use more intensive washing programmes.
• Clean spray arm jets and filter. Refer to "Care and
Cleaning".
• Tableware has been left for too long inside a
closed appliance.
• There is no rinse aid or the dosage of rinse aid is
not enough. Set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher
level.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.

combination with multi-tablets.
• The release quantity of rinse aid is too much. Ad‐
just the rinse aid level to a lower level.

Adjust the rinse aid level to a higher level.

• The programme does not have a drying phase or
has a drying phase with low temperature.
• The rinse aid dispenser is empty.

Try a different brand or activate the rinse aid dis‐
penser and use rinse aid and multi-tablets together.
• Keep the dishwasher door ajar for some time be‐
fore removing tableware.
• This is not a defect of the appliance. it is caused by
the humidity in the air that condenses on the walls.

an Authorised Service Centre.
• There is too much salt in the water used for wash‐
ing. Refer to "The water softener".
