Rust-colored stains or pitting on cutlery and metal items

Safety first: Handle sharp cutlery carefully.

• Check salt cap: Ensure the salt compartment cap is tightly closed and its seal is intact to prevent salt leakage into the wash water.
• Use quality items: Avoid washing non-dishwasher-safe metal items that are prone to rust.
• Increase rinse aid: Adjust rinse aid dosage to improve rinsing and drying.
• Inspect cutlery basket: If the plastic coating is damaged and metal is exposed, replace the basket to prevent rust transfer.
