Utensils not dry. No or too little rinse aid 
in the dispenser. Refill rinse aid.
Programme selected without  
drying. Select programme with drying (see 
Overview of programmes, Programme  
sequence).
Water collecting in depressions 
on the utensils and cutlery. Arrange utensils in a sloping position, 
arrange affected utensils as sloping  
as possible.
The combined detergent used 
has a poor drying performance. Use different combination detergent with 
better drying performance. Use of rinse aid  
also increases the drying performance.
Intensive drying to increase  
drying not activated. Activate intensive drying (see Operating 
the appliance)
Utensils were removed too early 
or drying process had not ended  
yet. Wait until program ends or wait until 30 min  
after program ends before removing  
utensils.
The eco rinse aid used has a poor 
drying performance. Use a proprietary rinse aid. Eco products are 
much less effective.
Plastic utensils not dry. Special properties of plastic. P lastic has a lower heat storage capacity 
and therefore dries less well.
Cutlery not dry. Cutlery not arranged properly  in the cutlery basket. Separate cutlery if possible, prevent contact  
points.
Cutlery not arranged properly  
in the cutlery drawer. Arrange cutlery properly and separate if 
possible.
Appliance interior wet after 
rinse cycle. No appliance fault. On account of the “Condensation drying
” 
principle, water droplets are physically  
induced and required in the container. The  
humidity in the air condenses on the inner  
walls of the dishwasher, drains and is  
pumped out.

completely removed. Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large 
food remnants.  
Recommended programme Eco 50°  
or Intensive.
Tall narrow receptacles in corner 
areas are not rinsed adequately. Do not place hollow receptacles too 
obliquely and do not place in the corner  
area.
Top basket  12 on right and left 
not set to same height. Set top basket to same height using side
