Dishware spotted or not dry

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

The amount of rinse aid dispensed is set too low or the rinse aid reservoir is empty.

Add rinse aid or increase the dispensing quantity. Consult the operating instructions for information about setting the dispensing quantity. Please note that adding too much rinse aid can result in a soapy residue on dishware.

Dishware not loaded or unloaded properly.

Please load dishware so that lighter items are in the upper basket, cups are on the slanted shelf, and there is sufficient space between items to ensure that water can drain off freely.

Check that the spray arms can move freely and that the jets are not clogged. Consult the operating instructions for more information about how to load the dishwasher properly.

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.

Unload the lower basket first, then the upper basket, and finally the cutlery tray (if there is one) to prevent water from the upper basket dripping onto dishware in the lower basket.

Plastic has low heat retention properties and dries more slowly than other wash items.

For the best drying results, Miele recommends the use of Miele rinse aid.

The detergent used does not meet requirements.

Experiment with using a separate powder cleaning agent, reactivation salt, and rinse aid for one rinse followed by another cycle using a multi-function detergent tab. Note the drying results and use the dispensing method which produces the best results.

On G 1000–G 2000 series appliances, it is necessary to select the 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 function button as appropriate. This has an impact on drying results.

From the G 5000 series onwards, appliances automatically detect if a multi-function cleaning agent tab or a separate powder cleaning agent is being used.

Water in cabinet is too hard.

Please use reactivation salt, regardless of the hardness of the water supply, and select the appropriate hardness setting. Please consult the operating instructions for more detailed information about water hardness settings.

The selected program does not include a drying cycle.

Please ensure that a program including a drying cycle is selected. In the event of unsatisfactory drying results, experiment with alternative programs. Consult the operating instructions for further information on this.

For thorough and gentle cleaning of glasses, dishware, and cutlery, Miele recommends using Miele products which care for your dishwasher at the same time.
