Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning,
provided that the correct amount of
cleaning agent is always used.
If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits
accumulate in the cabinet, these can be
removed with a proprietary dishwasher
cleaner (available from Miele).
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
 Wipe the door seal and the area beneath
the door regularly with a damp cloth to
remove food deposits.
 Wipe off any food or drink residues that
may have dripped onto the sides and
hinges of the dishwasher door.
 With freestanding machines that have a
plinth panel, remove spillages of food and
drink from the channel that runs below the
door.
 Risk of cutting yourself.
There is a risk of cutting yourself.
Be cautious of sharp edges when
cleaning.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet. Water from the spray jets does not
reach them. As a result, mould can develop
here.
Cleaning filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the
suds solution. It prevents soiling from
entering the circulation system and causing
blockages in the spray arms.
When Programme lock filter is activated, it
is not possible to use the dishwasher
without a micro-fine filter!
If the micro-fine filter is not inserted
properly, it is not possible to start a
programme and the following fault
message Programme lock filter appears on
the display.
Insert the micro-fine filter properly and
make sure it is positioned correctly (see
“Cleaning and care, Cleaning filters in the
wash cabinet”).
The filter combination must be checked
regularly and cleaned when necessary.
 Risk of injury from glass splinters.
Glass splinters cannot always be
detected in the filter straight away.
Take extra care when cleaning the filters.
Cleaning the coarse filter
 Press the catches towards each other and
remove the coarse filter.
 Rinse the filter thoroughly under running
water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning
brush to remove soiling.
 Replace the filter, making sure it engages
correctly.
