Water stains on plastic  
parts
Droplet formation on plastic 
surface is physically unavoidable.  
After drying, water stains are  
visible. Use a more intensive programme (more  
water changes). 
Arrange utensils in a sloping position.  
Use rinse aid.
If required, increase softening setting.
Washable or water-soluble  
coatings in the container or  
on the door. Detergent substances are  
deposited. These coatings cannot  
usually be removed with 
chemicals (appliance cleaner, ...). Change detergent brand.  
Clean appliance mechanically.
If there is a “white coating” on  
the container floor, the water  
softening system has been set  
marginally. Increase softening setting and change  
detergent if required.
Salt dispenser cover  1R not 
closed. Close salt dispenser cover correctly.
Only for glasses: Initial glass  
corrosion – can only apparently  
be wiped off. See Glass and utensil damage.
White, stubborn coatings; 
limescale on the utensils,  
container or door. Detergent substances are  
deposited. These coatings cannot  
usually be removed with  
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  
detergent not effective enough. Set water softening system according 
to instructions for use or use separate  
detergents (proprietary detergent, salt, rinse  
aid).
Underdosing of detergent. Increase detergent dosage o r change 
detergent.
Too weak rinse programme 
selected. Select a more intensive rinse programme.
Tea or lipstick residue on  
the utensils. Too low rinsing temperature. Select programme with h
igher washing 
temperature.
Too little or unsuitable detergent. Use suitable deterge nt at correct dosage.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;  
sensors therefore decide on  
weak programme sequence. 
Stubborn soiling cannot be  
completely removed. Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large 
food remnants.  
Recommended programme Eco 50°

Coloured (blue, yellow,  
brown), difficult to remove  
to non-removable coatings  
in the appliance or on 
stainless steel utensils.
Film formation consisting  
of ingredients from vegetables  
(e.g. cabbage, celery, potatoes,  
noodles, ...) or the tap water (e.g.  
manganese). Can be partly removed with machine  
cleaner or by mechanical cleaning. Coatings  
are harmless.
Film formation caused by metallic  
components on silver or  
aluminium utensils. Can be partly removed with machine  
cleaner or by mechanical cleaning.
Coloured (yellow, orange,  
brown), easily removable  
deposits inside 
the appliance (mainly  
in the floor area) Film formation consisting  
of ingredients from food  
remnants and substances from  
the tap water (limescale), “soapy”
Check function of the water softening  
system (refill with salt) or, if using combined  
detergents (tablets), activate water  
softening system (see chapter Water  
softening system/Special salt)
Plastic parts discoloured. Too low rinsing temperatu re. Select programme with higher washing 
temperature.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;  
sensors therefore decide on 
weak programme sequence.  
Stubborn soiling cannot be  
completely removed. Do not prerinse utensils. Remove only large 
food remnants.  
Recommended programme Eco 50°
Removable streaks on  
glasses, glasses with  
metallic appearance and  
cutlery. Too much rinse aid. Set rinse aid amount to lower setting. 
No rinse aid added or setting too  
low.
Add rinse aid and check dosage 
(recommended setting 4-5).
Detergent residue in the final 
rinse programme section.  
Detergent dispenser cover 
blocked by utensils (cover does  
not open fully). Detergent dispenser cover must not be  
obstructed by utensils.  
Do not place utensils or fragrance dispenser  
in the tablet collecting tray.
Utensils precleaned too intensely;  
sensors therefore decide on

Stubborn soiling cannot be

food remnants.  
Recommended programme Eco 50°
Initial or existing,  
irreversible clouding 
of glass. Glasses not dishwasher-proof, 
only suitable for dishwasher.
Use dishwasher-proof glasses. 
Avoid long steam phase (standing time after  
wash cycle ends). 
Use wash cycle at lower temperature. 
Set water softening system according to the  
water hardness (if required one setting  
lower). 
Use detergent with glass protection  
component.

Rust spots on the cutlery. Cutlery not adequately rust-
resistant. Knife blades are  
frequently more severely  
affected. Use corrosion-resistant cutlery.
Cutlery will also rust if rusting 
parts are rinsed at the same time 
(pan handles, damaged utensil  
baskets, etc.). Do not wash rusting parts.
Salt content in the rinsing water 
too high, as salt dispenser lock  
not fastened firmly or salt was 
spilled while being refilled. Fasten salt dispenser lock firmly or remove  
spilled salt.
The appliance does not  
start. The mains fuse has tripped. Check mains fuse. 
Power cord not inserted. Ensure that the power cord 
is plugged all 
the way into the back of the appliance and  
into the socket. Check that the socket  
functions.
The appliance door has not been 
shut properly. Close the door.
Programme starts 
automatically. You did not wait until programme 
ended. Perform reset.  
(See Terminating the programme).
The door is difficult  
to open. Child-proof lock is activated. Deactivate childproof lock
. (See instructions 
for use at the back)
Door cannot be closed. Door lock has been activated. Cl ose door with increased force.
Door cannot be closed due to  
installation. Check appliance installation: Door or 
attached parts must close without  
obstruction.
Cover on the detergent  
dispenser cannot be  
closed. Detergent dispenser or cover  
guide blocked by sticky detergent  
residue. Remove detergent residue.
Detergent residue 
in the detergent dispenser  
or in the tablet collecting  
tray. Spray arms blocked by utensils, 
therefore detergent is not rinsed  
out.
Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The detergent dispenser was 
damp when filled. Pour detergent into the dry detergent 
dispenser only.

Appliance stops  
in the programme or  
programme is interrupted.
Door not closed properly. Close the door. 
Do not place utensils or fragrance  
dispenser in the tablet collecting 
tray. 
Top basket presses against inner  
door and prevents door from  
being closed securely. Check whether rear panel is being pressed  
in, e.g. by socket or by hose holder which 
has not been removed.
Power and/or water supply  
interrupted. Restore power and/or water supply.
Filling valves making  
striking noises. Depends on domestic installation, 
as appliance is not defective. No  
effect on appliance function. No remedial action possible.
Knocking or rattling noise. Spray arm strikes the utensil s, 
utensils not positioned correctly. Position utensils so that the spray arms do  
not strike the utensils.
If there is a low load, the water 
jets strike the washing tank  
directly. Load the appliance with more utensils or  
distribute the utensils more evenly  
in the dishwasher.
Light utensils move during  
the wash cycle. Arrange light utensils securely.
Unusual foam formation. Handwash liquid in the rinse ai d 
dispenser. Immediately refill rinse aid dispenser with  
rinse aid.
Rinse aid spilled. Remove rinse aid with a cloth.

line. 
This will save energy and time. 
The hot water setting ‘:‹‚  allows you 
to adjust your appliance optimally  
to operation with hot water. 
It is recommended to have a water  
temperature (temperature of the  
incoming water) of at least 40 °C  
and no more than 60 °C. 
It is not recommended to connect  
the appliance to hot water if the water 
is supplied from an electric boiler.
