Miele dishwashers are engineered for 20 years of reliable performance. Here's how to ensure yours reaches that milestone.
1. Clean the Filter System Weekly
Miele's triple filter system catches food particles but needs regular cleaning: - Remove the drain filter basket - Clean under running water - Check the coarse filter for debris - Replace components in correct order
2. Run Hot Water Before Starting
For best results, run your kitchen faucet until the water is hot before starting the dishwasher. This ensures the initial fill is at optimal temperature.
3. Use Quality Detergent
Miele recommends their branded tabs for best results, but quality alternatives work well. Avoid: - Pods in older models without specific pod dispensers - Excessive detergent (causes residue) - Harsh chemicals that damage stainless interior
4. Maintain the Spray Arms
Monthly, remove and clean spray arms: - Check nozzles for clogs - Clear any debris with a toothpick - Ensure arms spin freely when replaced
5. Descale Regularly
Boston's water contains minerals that build up over time: - Use Miele descaler monthly - Run empty machine on intensive cycle - Check water softener settings if equipped
6. Clean the Door Seal
The rubber gasket around the door collects residue: - Wipe weekly with damp cloth - Check for mold in corners - Ensure proper seal when door closes
7. Schedule Annual Professional Service
Our technicians can: - Deep clean internal components - Check pump and motor function - Verify water inlet and drainage - Test all cycle functions
