Press the button to open the cover. Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation. Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

| Loading of the appliance using lower and upper rack at the same time with "Half load/Multizone" option. | If you select the "Half load/Multizone" option (if available), remember to load the upper rack or the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results. | |
| Clogged spray arms, dirty filters or not fitted correctly. | The spray arms must not be clogged, the filters must not be dirty and must be fitted correctly (see page 13) "Maintenance and care" | |
| Spray arms stuck impeded by crockery or cutlery. | The spray arms must be able to turn freely and must not be impeded by crockery or cutlery. | |
| ...have deposits: regeneration salt residue | Water too hard. In areas with very hard water, regeneration salt needs to be added more often (see page 4). | |
| Salt reservoir cap open. Close the salt reservoir cap properly. | ||
| Not enough rinse aid. If you use a combined action detergent (tablet/capsule), try adding more rinse aid. | ||
| ...are not dry | Plastic containers dry badly. | Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry. |
| Clean dishes left in appliance for a long time after end of cycle (e.g. when using "Delay" option). | In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the appliance is normal. Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes. | |
| Incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack. | Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities. | |
| Incorrect dosage of rinse aid. Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 5). | ||
| Express program selected. The Express program 40°C | / 45°C is intended for quick washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a full load of medium/heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not be dried completely. If so, select a standard-length program. For best results, open the door after the end of the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the appliance. | |
| ...have discoloured plastic parts | Tomato/Carrot juice. | Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discolouring of plastic parts. Powder detergent is recommended as it allows slightly higher doses to be used for improved whitening. Programs with higher wash temperatures should be used. |
| ...opaque glasses, etc. Dishes unsuitable for washing | in dishwashers (porcelain) | Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and glasses. |
| ...removable deposits on glasses | Usage of incorrect programs for glasses. | Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware together in baskets. Use suitable program for glass. |
| ...glasses not sparkling | Glasses unsuitable for washing in dishwashers (porcelain). | This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future:- Change the control of system of dosage of softener.- Be careful - follow recommended detergent dosage.- For combined action tablets see detergent producer's recommendations. |
| ...tea cups darken and dirt does not disappear after washing in dishwasher | Theine present in black tea. | In case of tea stains to enhance bleaching add one teaspoon of baking soda together with detergent into the detergent dispenser. |
| ...rust marks | Pre-Wash program not used. | Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To avoid this, always use the Pre-Wash program if the dishes are to be washed later. |
| ...other marks Rinse aid dosage too low. In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid | dosage (see page 5). If you use a combined action detergent (tablet/capsule), try adding more rinse aid. | |
| ...streaks | Rinse aid dosage too high. | In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 5). If you use a combined action detergent (tablet/capsule) which includes rinse aid, do not add any additional rinse aid. |
| ...suds | Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid. | Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can lead to excess suds. |
