Maintenance Features
- Filter System: The dishwasher has a filter combination in the wash cabinet base that retains coarse soil. Filters should be checked and cleaned regularly (every 4-6 months) to prevent clogging. Instructions are provided for disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the filter combination.
- Spray Arms: Food particles can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. Spray arms should be inspected and cleaned regularly (every 4-6 months). Instructions include removing and cleaning the upper, middle, and lower spray arms.
- Door and Door Seal: Mould can build up on these surfaces as they are outside the wash cabinet's spray area. Regular wiping with a damp cloth is recommended.
- Wash Cabinet: Largely self-cleaning with correct detergent use. Limescale or grease deposits can be removed with Miele DishClean conditioning agent.
- Water Inlet Filter: A filter in the screw connection of the water inlet hose valve must be cleaned if water flow is insufficient. Instructions detail how to disconnect the dishwasher, turn off the tap, remove, clean, and reattach the filter.
- Drain Pump and Non-Return Valve: If water is not pumped away, these components may be blocked. Instructions explain how to access and clean them, including removing foreign objects and checking the impeller.
- External Surfaces: Cleaning instructions specify avoiding abrasive or solvent-based cleaners to prevent damage or discolouration. A soft sponge with warm water and washing-up liquid, or a damp microfibre cloth, is recommended.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Provides solutions for common technical problems (e.g., Start light not flashing, FXX fault codes, water inlet/drainage faults) and unsatisfactory washing results (e.g., dirty dishes, smearing, rust stains, discolouration).
- After Sales Service: Contact details for Miele are provided for repairs and warranty claims. The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years.
