BEKO BDFS26123XQ Vaatwasser Handleiding

Oorzaak: New machine, clogged filters, or dirty dishes kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days

A new machine has a peculiar odour which will fade out after a couple of washes. Check if the filter system is clean and clean regularly. If you are not going to start the machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. Do not close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odour build up. You can also use commercially available odour removers or machine cleaners.

Oorzaak: Salt leakage, salty food remnants kept for long time, electric installation not grounded, intensive cleansers used, metal items used for purposes other than intended, low quality stainless steel cutlery, or already corroded kitchen utensils washed in dishwasher

Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the spilled salt inside the machine. If cutlery soiled with salty foods will be kept waiting in machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or dishes must be washed without being kept waiting. Check if your machine is connected to the actual grounding line. Do not wash your dishes with bleach. Do not use metal kitchen utensils out of their intended uses. Do not wash low quality stainless steel cutlery or already corroded items in dishwashers.

Oorzaak: Detergent dispenser was damp, detergent added long before washing process, detergent dispenser lid opening prevented during washing, unsuitable detergent storage conditions, or clogged impeller holes

Make sure that the detergent dispenser is dried well prior to filling it with detergent. Pay attention to add detergent shortly before start-up of the washing. Place the dishes in a way that will not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening. Store powder detergent in closed containers away from humidity or use tablet detergents. Clean the impellers regularly to remove clogged food remnants.

Oorzaak: Decorated glasses and decorated lustre porcelains are not suitable for dishwasher washing

Do not wash decorated glasses and decorated lustre porcelains in the dishwasher. Check manufacturer recommendations for glassware and porcelain tableware items.

Oorzaak: Kitchen utensils containing or made of aluminium, salt leakage, low water hardness setting, insufficient salt level, or dishes not placed orderly

Do not wash kitchen utensils that contain or are made of aluminium in dishwasher. Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. When placing glasses and other glassware into the basket lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of the basket or the glass support tines.

Oorzaak: Excessive rinse aid is used or corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water

Lower rinse aid setting. Clean the spilled rinse aid when adding rinse aid. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. If your supply water is soft (<5 dH), do not use salt. Choose programmes that wash in higher temperatures (e.g. 60-65°C). You can also use glass protective detergents that are commercially available.

Oorzaak: Dishes washed with hand-wash detergent but not rinsed before placing them into the machine, rinse aid spilled into the machine, or lid of the rinse aid reservoir left open

There is no need to hand-wash the dishes before placing them into the machine. Removing the coarse soil on the dishes under tap water, with a tissue paper or fork will be sufficient. Take care that rinse aid is not spilled in the machine when you are filling it. Clean any spilled rinse aid with the help of a tissue paper/towel. Make sure that the lid of the rinse aid reservoir is closed after adding rinse aid.

Oorzaak: Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine

Load the dishes as described in the user manual.
