Safe first steps

  1. Ensure that you have selected the correct wash program for your dishes. If you are washing delicate items, confirm that the P12 program is active.
  2. Check the dishwasher's loading to ensure that delicate items are placed securely and not touching each other to prevent breakage during the wash cycle.
  3. If the P12 error code appears unexpectedly during a wash cycle, stop the dishwasher and check for any blockages in the spray arms or filters that may affect performance.
  4. If you find any blockages, carefully remove them and restart the dishwasher. If the error persists, consider arranging a service visit to check for deeper issues.

When to stop

  • Stop if you notice any unusual noises or leaks during operation — risk of flooding or mechanical injury.
