Problem
White residue is visible
on cutlery and crock‐
ery, clouding occurs on
glassware; film can be
wiped off.
There are rust stains on
cutlery.
Possible cause and remedy
Not enough rinse aid was used.
 Increase the dosage (see "Before using for the first
time - Rinse aid").
There is no salt in the salt reservoir.
 Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first
time - Dishwasher salt").
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐
rectly.
 Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
An unsuitable combination detergent has been used.
 Change your detergent. Use a standard liquid,
tablet or powder detergent, and fill the salt and
rinse aid reservoirs in the dishwasher.
The water softener is programmed to too low a water
hardness level.
 Programme the water softener for harder water
(see "Before using for the first time - Water soften‐
er").
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
 There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle.
 Always run the Gentle 45°C  programme with
the Short  programme option selected and
without any crockery in the dishwasher after add‐
ing dishwasher salt.
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐
rectly.
 Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
