Crockery not clean (G 7xxx)

The crockery in the dishwasher is not clean after the rinse cycle.

The crockery was not loaded correctly. Items of crockery cover each other.

Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces.

Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.

Carry out a rotation check and if needed, rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The programme was not powerful enough.

Select a stronger programme.

Activate the Extra clean function (depending on the model).

Activate the 2nd interim rinse function (depending on the model).

Not enough detergent was dispensed.

Use more detergent during manual dispensing or change the detergent you are using.

Use the AutoDos function (depending on the model). AutoDos automatically dispenses the right quantity of detergent. If necessary, increase the dispensing quantity during automatic dispensing “Settings”.

An unsuitable detergent was used.

Use detergent without combination products and ensure you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.

For thorough and gentle cleaning of glasses, crockery and cutlery, we recommend Miele products.

The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged. (G 7xxx)

Make sure that coarse soiling does not fall into the circulation system, causing a blockage.

Caution: risk of being cut

It is especially difficult to see glass splinters!
