Cause and remedy
The water softener is set too low:
• Set the water softener to the correct water hardness. Refer to the Miele Operating
Instructions.
• There is no salt in the salt reservoir. Refill the reactivation salt.
• The cabinet needs cleaning. Refer to 5.2 Cleaning the machine.
The rinse aid concentration is set too low
• Increase the dispensing concentration.
• The baskets and carrier used were not suitable for the load. Select those which are
suitable for the task.
• Overloaded! Arrange the wash load correctly according to Appendixes 1 or 2. Avoid
overloading the baskets, carriers and inserts.
• Soiling has been left to dry on the load prior to cleaning for too long. Soiling should not
be left on the load for more than 2 hours before machine reprocessing.
• A spray arm is blocked. Ensure the spray arms are not obstructed when arranging the
wash load.
• The stainless steel is of insufficient quality for machine reprocessing. Only use stainless
steel items made of high quality stainless steel and follow the instructions of the
manufacturer regarding machine reprocessing.
• The chloride content in the water is too high. Have a water analysis check carried out.
Connections to an external water processing unit and the use of demineralised water
may be necessary.
• Rust or superficial rust has built up in the wash cabinet, e.g. due to an excessively high
iron content in the water or rust on other wash load items - check the installation;
discard any rusty items.
