Miele Tips: Caring for Your Dishwasher

18 June 20265 min read

Sparkling dishes start with a clean dishwasher

Miele dishwashers deliver outstanding results, but only when properly maintained. Here are tips based on Miele's official care recommendations.

Regular maintenance

  • Filter at the bottom — at least once a month remove and rinse the combined filter under warm running water; food residue collects here and causes odours and poorer washing.
  • Spray arms — check and clear the jets on the upper and lower arms if blocked by food residue or limescale.
  • Door seals — wipe with a damp cloth so they seal well and stay clean.
  • Products and limescale protection

  • Reactivation salt — top up the salt reservoir regularly; salt softens the water and prevents limescale and spots on dishes.
  • Rinse aid — ensures fast, streak-free drying.
  • AutoDos / PowerDisk — on auto-dosing models use the genuine Miele PowerDisk for optimal results.
  • Miele DishClean / IntenseClean — occasionally run a cleaning program with Miele's product to degrease and remove limescale and deposits.
  • Helpful habits

  • Empty hot cycle — occasionally run an empty program at the highest temperature for a deep clean of the interior.
  • Scrape off coarse residue before loading (pre-rinsing isn't necessary).
  • Leave the door ajar after a cycle so the interior dries.

  • These tips are based on Miele's official care recommendations (miele.com); available features and program names depend on the model and market. For delivery, installation and commissioning of a Miele dishwasher, contact the CLISSA Plus d.o.o. team.
