To start a basic wash cycle, ensure the dishwasher is loaded properly and the door is closed. Select your desired cycle by turning the program selector dial, then press the 'Start' button to initiate the wash cycle.
First, check if the filter and drain pump are clean and free of debris. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps or contact Miele customer service.
To adjust the water hardness setting, press the 'Program' button until 'Settings' is displayed. Use the arrow keys to navigate to 'Water Hardness' and adjust it according to your local water supply specifications.
Regularly clean the filter and check the spray arms for blockages. Use a dishwasher cleaner monthly to remove limescale and grease. Ensure the door seal is clean to prevent leaks.
To reset the dishwasher, turn it off using the main power switch. Wait for a few seconds, then turn it back on. If the error persists, refer to the error code section in the manual for specific troubleshooting instructions.
No, regular dish soap should not be used in the dishwasher as it can cause excessive suds and potentially damage the machine. Always use dishwasher-specific detergents.
Place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack, ensuring they don't block the spray arms. Use the top rack for smaller items such as cups and glasses. Avoid overcrowding to allow water to circulate freely.
Remove the spray arms by twisting them counterclockwise. Rinse them under running water, using a brush to clear any blockages. Reattach by aligning them with the mount and twisting clockwise until secure.
Check for obstructions around the door seal and ensure dishes are not protruding. Inspect the door latch for damage. If issues continue, contact a Miele technician for assistance.
Use the Eco program for energy-efficient washing. Only run the dishwasher with a full load, and avoid using additional heat drying by selecting air drying options if available.
