ing Charts for possible remedies. You may find the proper solution without having to call a service provider.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible Cause and/or Remedy
Is the machine plugged in?
Are all fuses operative?
Is the water supply fully turned on?
Is the dishwasher door closed securely?
Have you pressed the On/Off button?
Cancel the program by pressing the Start/Pause
button for 5 seconds.
Dishwasher cycle was interrupted or the water did not reach required
temperature.
Adjust door spring tension (custom panel models only, see Installation
Guide).
Improper loading:
Load the dishwasher as suggested in this manual.
Insufficient rinse agent supply:
Increase the dosage amount of rinse agent and/or refill the rinse agent
dispenser.
Dishes are removed too soon:
Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after washing. Open the door
slightly so that the steam can escape. Begin with unloading the dish-
washer when the dishes are only hand warm. Empty the lower rack first.
This prevents water from dripping off dishes in the upper rack.
Wrong program selection:
In short period programs, the wash temperature and therefore the clean-
ing performance is lower. Choose a program with a longer washing time.
Washing cutlery with worn surface:
Evaporation of water is more difficult with these items.
Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suited for dishwashers.
Wrong program selection:
Select a program that washes at a higher temperature
or takes a longer amount of time.
Detergent is moist or clumping in box:
Bleaches in cleaners lose their efficiency when stored
under unfavorable conditions. Store detergents in a
dry location. Close the lid of the container securely.
Using cutlery with a low surface quality:
Cleaning of these items is made difficult by their poor
surface structure. Cutlery or dishes of this type are not for dishwashers.
Improper loading.
Load the dishwasher as suggested in this manual.
Overloaded racks.
Do not overload the dish rack. Dishes may hit against each other and
break.
