Question

Why are there rust stains in the appliance?

---

Answer

The following points can help:

• Dishwasher salt can cause the dishes inside to rust after a wash cycle. To avoid rust stains, we recommend that you run a short programme without dishes after you have added salt. If the dishes or cutlery are made of stainless material, rust stains should no longer occur.
• Rusty spots on the dishwasher basket should be sealed with a special glue from a specialist shop, otherwise the rust will spread in the machine during the washing process and the rusty spots on the basket can increase.
