gent in the dispenser at the

Possible cause and solution
•
The released quantity of rinse aid is not sufficient. Ad‐
just the rinse aid level to a higher level.
•
The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause.
•
This is not a defect of the appliance. Humid air con‐
densates on the appliance walls.
Use the detergent designed specifically for dishwash‐
ers.
•
There is a leak in the rinse aid dispenser. Contact an
Authorised Service Centre.
•
There is too much salt in the water used for washing.
Refer to "The water softener".
•
Silver and stainless steel cutlery were placed together.
Do not put silver and stainless steel items close to‐
gether.
•
The detergent tablet was stuck in the dispenser and
therefore was not completely washed away by water.
•
Water cannot wash away the detergent from the dis‐
penser. Make sure that the spray arms are not blocked
or clogged.
•
Make sure that items in the baskets do not impede the
lid of the detergent dispenser from opening.
•
Refer to "Internal cleaning".

Start the Machine Care programme with a descaler or
a cleaning product designed for dishwashers.

The level of salt is low, check the refill indicator.
•

Your tap water is hard. Refer to "The water soften‐
er".

even when multi-functional tablets are used. Refer to
"The water softener".

Start the Machine Care programme with a descaler
designed for dishwashers.
