Even the best dishwasher will not deliver clean dishes if there is a lack of water. If the dishwasher symbol lights up with the tap, that is exactly the problem: the machine receives no or only too little water. If the symbol with the tap lights up, you should first check the hoses and water connections. A kinked hose or a blocked faucet are problems that you can quickly and easily fix yourself. If necessary, a look at the instructions for the dishwasher can also help. If that doesn't help you either, it makes sense to consult a specialist.

Hard water can leave limescale on the tableware as well as the washing tank and so parts of the appliance may become blocked. To prevent limescale buildup and achieve excellent dishwashing results, it's important to use special salt to treat the water. When the special salt refill indicator lights up, simply add the right amount of special salt to the dispenser before starting the program. The quantity needed depends on the hardness of your water, so adjust accordingly for optimal performance.

The rinse aid dishwasher symbol, represented by a sun with dotted rays, indicates a need for more rinse aid. Rinse aid plays a crucial role in enhancing drying performance and preventing limescale deposits on your dishes. Once filled, the dishwasher automatically dispenses the appropriate amount of rinse aid for each wash cycle. While multi-tabs also contain rinse aid, it may be necessary to add extra rinse aid based on the water hardness level.
