BEKO DFN05211S Vaatwasser Handleiding

Oorzaak: New machine has a peculiar odour, filters are clogged, or dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days

A new machine has a peculiar odour that will fade out after a couple of washing. Check if the filter system is clean and clean it 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 exists, salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time, electric installation is not grounded, intensive cleansers such as bleaches are used, metal items are used for purposes other than their intended uses, silverware are made of low quality stainless steel, or kitchen utensils that are already corroded are 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 salt that spilled inside the machine. If salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time, remove dirt 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 or already corroded items in dishwashers.

Oorzaak: Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent, detergent is added long before the washing process, opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented during washing, detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions, or impeller holes are clogged

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 and the water going into the machine from impellers. Store powder detergent in a closed container in dry places or use tablet detergents. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section Cleaning and Care.

Oorzaak: Decorated glasses and decorated luster porcelains are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher

Decorated glasses and decorated luster porcelains are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher. Manufacturers of glassware and porcelain tableware items do not recommend washing such kitchen utensils in the dishwashers.

Oorzaak: Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum should not be washed in dishwasher, salt leakage exists, water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient, or dishes are not placed orderly in the machine

Do not wash kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum 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 salt that spilled inside the machine. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. When placing the 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 wire.

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 are washed with hand-wash detergent by hand but not rinsed before placing them into the machine, rinse aid has spilled into the machine when adding rinse aid, or lid of the rinse aid reservoir is left open

Hand-wash detergents do not contain antifoam. 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.
