Dishwashing

Dishware spotted or not dry

The dishware is not dry or cutlery and glasses are spotted.

The dispensing quantity for rinse aid is set too low or the rinse aid container is empty.

Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dispensing quantity, or change the brand of rinse aid used. Please note that adding too much rinse aid can result in a soapy residue on dishware.

Dishware not loaded or unloaded properly.

Load dishware so that the water can drain off freely.

Leave the appliance door (on appliances without automatic door opening) closed for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the residual moisture to evaporate uniformly.

First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket, and finally the cutlery tray (depending on the model). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishware in the lower basket.

The duration of the drying phase for the selected program is not sufficient for the dishware (particularly for plastic dishware).

Select the Extra dry function (depending on the model).

The detergent used does not meet requirements.

On G 1000–G 2000 series dishwashers, it is necessary to select the 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 button as appropriate when using all-purpose cleaners. This has an impact on drying results.

From the G 5000 series onward, the dishwasher automatically detects if all-purpose cleaners were used.

For thorough and gentle cleaning of glasses, dishware, and cutlery, Miele recommends using Miele products.

Only for dishwashers with water softener:
The water hardness of the rinse water is too high.

Fill with dishwasher salt, irrespective of the hardness of the water supply, and set a higher water hardness in the water softener.

The selected program does not include a drying cycle.

Ensure that the selected program includes a drying cycle. If the drying results are unsatisfactory, use other programs.

The on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the door.
For example, in the case of a dishwasher installed at a height, the on-site drainage connection may be situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the door.

If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect can cause the wash cabinet to empty itself of water during a program.

Open the dishwasher door fully.

Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall .

Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane  behind.

The ventilation opening for the water drain is now open.
