• POOR WASHING RESULTS...
White marks
(identify what type)
- Chalky film (removable with
vinegar).
- Traces of salt (items have a
salty taste).
- Check that there is salt in the
tank (light unlit = OK).
- Check the water hardness at
the tap and that the water sof-
tener is set correctly. Adjust it
to a higher level if necessary.
- Water too hard for using a “4-
in-1” detergent without the
addition of salt.
- Check that the stopper on the
salt container is closed cor-
rectly.
White marks
(identify what type)
- Glass cloudy because water
too soft (cannot be removed).
- Check the water hardness at
the tap and that the water sof-
tener is set correctly. Some
detergents in pellet form are
more aggressive to glasses
and decorations (change the
product and use a protective
product if necessary).
Coloured marks (tea, wine, cof-
fee)
- Items poorly arranged
- Detergent dose too low ; inef-
ficient detergent
- Programme temperature too
low.
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Turn the cavities in the items
towards the jets.
- Increase the dose; try another
detergent.
- Select a more suitable pro-
gramme with a higher temper-
ature.
- Use the “4-in-1” option.
(depending on the model).
Streaks or dried droplets on
glasses
- Lack or insufficient amount of
rinsing product.
- Rinsing product out-of-date or
inefficient.
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Check the indicator light and
f
ill the tank completely. Adjust
the dispensing unit to a higher
position if necessary.
- Use a recent product (a good
product dilutes easily and
foams in cold water).
- Use the “4-in-1” option with a
setting prioritizing drying
(parametering from the menu -
depending on the model).
Dried-on marks on glasses,
dullness
- If you use a multifunction
product.
- Use the “4-in-1” option with a
setting prioritizing brilliance
(parametering from the menu -
depending on the model).
• POOR OPERATION
Problem Possible Causes What to do ?
Constant filling
A lot of waste on the large filter
at the end of the cycle.
- (Cf. table fault d12). Drain hole
situated too low for the
appliance.
- The filters and drain outlets are
blocked with too much
residue.
- Drain wand fallen on the floor.
- Remove and clean the filters
and the bottom of the drain
outlets. Remove large residue
from the plates before putting
them in the machine.
Traces of rust on stainless steel - Quality of the stainless steel
not dishwasher-safe (knives in
particular)
- Use “special dishwasher-safe”
cutlery.
- Check that the stopper on the
salt container is closed correctly.
• POOR DRYING RESULTS
Problem Possible Causes What to do?
A lot of droplets on the glasses. - Lack or insufficient amount of
rinsing product.
- The dose has not been distrib-
uted.
- Positioning of the items.
- Check the indicator light and
f
ill t
he tank completely.
- If the tank is not empty after
approximately 60 washings,
call a technician.
- To alleviate the phenomenon,
arrange the items to restrict
water retention as much as
possible. Leave the door ajar
for a few minutes, if possible
Droplets on plastic items, Tefal
coatings, etc.
- These insulating items have a
low calorific mass.
- Arrange them preferably in the
upper basket.
Poorer drying on rapid
programmes
-
On rapid programmes, the drying
temperature and drying period are
reduced to cut down the duration
of the cycle as much as possible.
- Select a rapid programme
carefully or leave the door ajar
for a few minutes.
Condensation on the wall of the
inside door or the tub.
-
Condensation may form on the
walls, particularly after the
appliance has cooled down
(sound insulation increases the
phenomenon)
