To start a wash cycle, load the dishwasher, add detergent, select the desired program using the control panel, and press the Start button. Ensure the door is securely closed to begin the cycle.
Check the drain filter and remove any debris. Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. If the issue persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps or contact Miele support.
Regularly clean the interior by running an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or vinegar. Wipe down the door gasket and edges with a damp cloth. Remove and clean the spray arms if necessary.
Regularly clean the filter, check spray arms for blockages, and inspect the door gasket. Use a dishwasher cleaner monthly to prevent buildup. Ensure the water softener is filled with salt if your model includes this feature.
Open the rinse aid compartment and turn the dosage selector to the desired level. The settings typically range from 1 to 6, with higher numbers dispensing more rinse aid.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing, such as improperly loaded dishes. Check the door latch and gasket for damage. If necessary, adjust the leveling legs to ensure the dishwasher is properly aligned.
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled, as this aids in drying. Select a program with a higher temperature and longer drying time. Load dishes with space between them for better air circulation.
Use the cutlery tray or basket provided; arrange forks and spoons with handles down and knives with handles up for safety. Ensure items do not nest together to allow water to reach all surfaces.
To reset the dishwasher, turn off the power at the main switch or circuit breaker for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Restart the dishwasher and select the desired program.
Refer to the user manual for the specific error code to understand the issue. Most codes will have troubleshooting steps you can follow, or you may need to contact Miele customer support for further assistance.
