Detergent residue.

Detergent dispenser cover 9* 
blocked by dishes and therefore 
does not open fully. 

Dishes must not be placed above the 
detergent tab tray 1B. These may block the 
lid of the detergent dispenser and prevent it 
from opening fully. 
Do not place dishes or fragrance dispenser 
in the detergent tab tray.

Detergent dispenser cover 9* 
blocked by the detergent tab.

Detergent tab must be inserted flat and not 
upright.

Detergent tab used in the quick or 
short wash cycle. 
Dissolving time of the detergent is 
not reached in the selected short 
wash cycle.

Dissolving time of detergent tab too long 
for a quick or short wash cycle. 
Use a detergent powder or select a more 
intensive wash cycle.

Washing effect and dissolving 
performance are reduced after a 
prolonged storage time or detergent 
is very lumpy.

Change detergent.

Water stains on plastic parts.

Droplet formation on plastic surface 
is physically unavoidable. After 
drying, water stains are visible.

Use a more intensive wash cycle (more 
water changes).
Arrange dishes 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 very low.

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 silverware damage”. 

White, stubborn coatings; 
limescale on the dishes, 
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

Set water softening system according to 
instructions for use or use separate 
detergents (proprietary detergent, salt, 
rinse aid).

Underdosing of detergent.

Increase detergent dosage or change 
detergent.

Too weak rinse cycle selected.
