Remnants of food on tableware - Improper loading or blocked spray/filters

What does Food remnants on tableware mean?

Dishes still have food residue after a wash cycle, which can be due to incorrect loading, blocked spray arms or filters, or an unsuitable wash program.

• Tableware is placed too close together or basket is overfilled.
• Spray arm rotation of the lower spray arm is blocked.
• Spray arm nozzles are blocked.
• Filters are soiled or inserted incorrectly and/or not engaged.
• Washing programme selected too weak.
• Tableware has been precleaned too intensely, causing sensors to choose a weaker programme.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Arrange tableware with sufficient space between items so spray jets can reach all surfaces; avoid points of contact.

2. 2

   Check that spray arms are not blocked by tableware and can rotate freely, and clean spray arm nozzles (Page 44).

3. 3

   Clean the filters (Page 43) and ensure they are properly inserted and engaged.

4. 4

   Select a more intensive washing programme or adjust the sensitivity of the sensors (Page 12).

5. 5

   Only remove large remnants of food and do not prerinse tableware to allow sensors to detect actual soiling.

6. 6

   Ensure top baskets on the right and left are set to the same height.
