knocking against an item
in the basket.

rearrange items which
are obstructing the spray
arms.
Rattling noise
Items of crockery are

crockery.
A whistling noise is
heard during the
programme
The axial face seal of the
circulation pump
sometimes makes a
whistling noise. This may
be caused by detergent.
This is not a problem. Try
out other detergents.
Consult the Miele Service
Department if the noise is
permanent.
Knocking noise in the
water pipes
This may be caused by
the on-site installation or
the cross-section of the
piping.
This has no influence on
dishwasher function. If in
doubt contact a suitably
qualified plumber.
Dishes and glasses are
not dry or are flecked
The rinse-aid amount set
may be insufficient, or the
rinse-aid reservoir empty.
Increase the dosage or
replenish the reservoir,
see “Before using for the
first time”.
The water hardness level
selector in the wash
cabinet is set too high.
Set the selector to a
lower setting, See
“Programming and
setting the water
hardness level”.
Crockery was taken out
of the cabinet too soon.
Leave it in for longer, see
“Operating the
dishwasher”
Drying heat is switched
off.
Switch the “Drying heat”
option back on, see
“Operating the
dishwasher”
