plumber rather than a serviceman for dishwasher. 
Improper detergent  Use only the special dishwasher detergent to avoid 
suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds 
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close 
and latch the dishwasher, then Start the  soak  wash 
cycle to drain out the water. Repeat if necessary. Suds in the tub 
Spilled rinse-aid  Always wipe up rinse-aid spills immediately.

was used. Make sure that the detergent is the one without 
colourant. 
White film on inside 
surface Hard water minerals  To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with 
dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never 
use any other cleaner than dishwasher detergent for the 
risk of foaming or suds. 
The affected items are not 
corrosion resistant.  
A programme was not run 
after dishwasher salt was 
added. Traces of salt have 
got into the wash cycle. Always run the Quick wash programme . without any 
crockery in the dishwasher and without selecting the 
Turbo function (if present), after adding dishwasher salt.

Wrong programme 
selection 
Using cutlery with a low-
quality coating Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after 
washing. Open the door slightly so that the steam can 
escape. Begin unloading the dishwasher only once the 
dishes are barely warm to the touch. Empty the low 
basket first. This prevents water form dropping off 
dishes in the upper basket. 
In short programmes the washing temperature is lower. 
This also lowers cleaning performance. Choose a 
programme with a long washing time. 
Water drainage is more difficult with these items. 
Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suitable for 
washing in the dishwasher.
