Detergent
,
Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:
– Phosphates to prevent calcification.
– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.
Types of detergent:
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of load and level of soiling.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.
Miele branded dishwasher powder
and tabs are available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department or via the
Internet, depending on country.
A variety of combination products is also
available (see section "Additional
functions, Combi-tab", depending on
model).
In addition to detergent, combi tabs
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
Combi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or,
when they also contain other components
such as glass and stainless steel
protective additives and enhanced
cleaning power, as "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as
to whether the combi tabs are suitable for
the water hardness level in your area.
Please note that the cleaning and drying
results of tab detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying
results use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately.
Under certain circumstances
unsatisfactory washing and drying
results might be noticed when using
combination dishwasher detergents.
These products contain a combination
of detergent and rinse aid or detergent
and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid
and salt (3 in 1). Drying results might
not be as good as expected or
residues or flecks might be left on
crockery. If results are still
unsatisfactory, even after seeking
advice from the detergent
manufacturer, we suggest that you
change to a different product or use a
traditional dishwasher detergent.
