Rust spots or corrosion appearing on the interior racks or on cutlery after washing.

Safety first: Remove sharp or rusted items carefully to avoid cuts.

• Inspect racks: Check for chipped or missing plastic coating on the wire racks. Exposed metal can rust and stain dishes.
• Repair minor chips: For small areas, use a dishwasher-safe rack repair coating to seal exposed metal.
• Replace severely corroded racks: If many areas are rusted, replace the entire rack with a Hansa-compatible spare.
• Use stainless items: Avoid placing low-quality steel items that rust easily into the dishwasher.

Addressing rack damage early prevents rust particles from spreading onto dishes.
