Cleaning and care

Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning,
provided that the correct amount of deter-
gent is always used.
If, despite this, lime scale or grease de-
posits 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 re-
move food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues that
may have dripped onto the sides and
hinges of the dishwasher door.
With freestanding dishwashers that have a
base facing, remove spillages of food and
beverages from the channel that runs be-
low the door.
Risk of cutting yourself.
There is a risk of cutting yourself.
Be cautious of sharp edges when clean-
ing.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabi-
net. They are not accessed by water from
the spray jets. As a result, mold fungi can
develop here.
Cleaning filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the
suds solution. It prevents soiling from enter-
ing the circulation system and causing
blockages in the spray arms.
When Program lock filter is activated, it is
not possible to use the dishwasher with-
out a micro-fine filter!
If the micro-fine filter is not inserted prop-
erly, it is not possible to start a program
and the following fault message Program
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 reg-
ularly and cleaned when necessary.
Risk of injury from glass splinters.
Glass splinters cannot always be de-
tected in the filter straight away.
Take extra care when cleaning the filters.
Cleaning the coarse filter
Press the catches toward each other and
remove the coarse filter.
Rinse the filter thoroughly under running
water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning
brush to remove dirt.
Replace the filter, making sure it engages
correctly.
