Dishwasher Operation Summary
Loading: Arrange crockery and cutlery efficiently in the upper and lower baskets, ensuring spray arms are unobstructed. Use the cutlery tray or basket as provided.
Detergent: Add detergent to the designated compartment. Use only dishwasher-specific detergents and rinse aid.
Starting a Programme: Select a programme using the programme selector button. Press the "Start" button to begin. The time display shows remaining time or programme status.
Options: Various programme options like Delay Start, Short, and Sensor wash can be selected to customize the wash cycle.
Unloading: Wait for the programme to complete. Open the door carefully to release steam. Unload the lower basket first to prevent water from dripping onto dry dishes below.
Maintenance: Regularly clean the filters, spray arms, and door seals. Check and refill salt and rinse aid reservoirs as indicated.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Cause and remedy |
|---|---|
| Crockery is not dry or cutlery and glasses are flecked. | The rinse aid dosage is set too low or the rinse aid reservoir is empty. ■ Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time, Rinse aid"). Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon. ■ Leave it in for longer (see "Operation"). Combination products have been used which have impaired drying performance. ■ Change your detergent, or replenish the rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time, Rinse aid"). |
| Glassware has a brown or blue tinge, and film cannot be wiped off. | This may be caused by the detergent. ■ Change your detergent. |
| Glassware is dull and discoloured; film cannot be wiped off. | The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces are affected. ■ There is no remedy. ■ Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-proof. |
| Tea or lipstick stains have not been completely removed. | The wash temperature of the selected programme was too low. ■ Select a programme with a higher wash temperature. The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low. ■ Change your detergent. |
| Plastic items are discoloured. | Natural dyes e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes. ■ Use more detergent (see "Operation, Detergent"). Discolouration is irreversible. |
| White residue is visible on crockery and cutlery, clouding occurs on glassware; film can be wiped off. | The rinse aid dosage is set too low. ■ Increase the dosage. See "Before using for the first time - Rinse aid". There is no salt in the salt reservoir. ■ Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first time, Dishwasher salt"). The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. ■ Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly. An unsuitable combination product has been used. ■ Change your detergent. Use a standard liquid, tablet or powder detergent. The water softener is programmed to too low a water hardness level. ■ Programme the water softener for harder water (see "Before using for the first time, Water softener"). |
| There are rust stains on cutlery. | The affected items are not corrosion resistant. ■ There is no remedy. ■ Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof. A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle. ■ Always run the Sensor wash gentle ♀ programme with the Short programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher after adding dishwasher salt. The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. ■ Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly. |
