If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check tha t:
· there is rinse aid inside the special container;
· the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
· the detergent used is of good quality and has not l ost its
effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box
left open).
If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, et c., check that:
· the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank :
· the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust m arks are due to
external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots,
cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove
such marks;
· check that the amount of detergent being used is co rrect. Certain
detergents can be more corrosive than others.
