The ABC of dishwashing
Tip: Store glasses with the opening
facing upwards. This ensures that
glasses are aired and odour molecules
can escape.
Odour development in dishwashers
which have been used for some time
Odour development can have various
causes. Try the following recommendations:
▶
Care for your loyal helper
▶
Limescale deposits inside the
cabinet
• Deposits in the area around the door seal:
Clean the door seal using a damp cloth
and, if necessary, a little Miele dishwasher
conditioning agent.
• Clean the filter combination
• Crockery is collected in the dishwasher
over a period of time until the machine
is full. Food residue can start to give off
an unpleasant odour. Use the pre-wash
programme to remove coarse food
residue.
• A faulty installation of the inlet hose or
the drain hose can cause unpleasant
odours. They should be checked to see if
this is the case.
Odour development in new dishwashers
Similar to a new car, new dishwashers
have their own odour due to production-
related reasons. The occurring odours are
in no way a cause for concern, nor do they
present a risk to health. They will gradually
reduce after several wash cycles.
