chemicals (appliance cleaner, ...).
Change detergent brand.
Clean appliance mechanically.
Hardness range incorrectly set or
water hardness greater than
8.9 mmol/l.
Set water softening system according
to instructions for use or top up salt.
3 in 1 detergent or bio/eco

Set water softening system according
to instructions for use or use separate

Underdosing of detergent. Increase detergent dosage or change
detergent.

selected.
Select a more intensive rinse programme.
Tea or lipstick residue on
the utensils.
Too low rinsing temperature. Select programme with higher washing
temperature.
Too little or unsuitable detergent. Use suitable detergent at correct dosage.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore decide on

Stubborn soiling cannot be
completely removed.
Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large
food remnants.
Recommended programme Eco 50°

detergents (tablets), activate water
softening system (see chapter Water
softening system/Special salt)
Plastic parts discoloured. Too low rinsing temperature. Select programme with higher washing
temperature.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;
sensors therefore decide on
weak programme sequence.
Stubborn soiling cannot be
completely removed.
