Customercare Why do my glasses streak? I am using Finish Powerball tablets.

I have not had good luck with all-in-one soaps. I use the liquid drying agent with Cascade Complete and get sparkling results without prewashing. They do need to be rinsed if they have sat for a while before running the washer and use the hottest water to warm up the water in the washer pipe before you start the washer.

Why not?

If you have a water softener, just drop the entire tablet into the bottom of the dishwasher at the beginning of the cycle. This is to allow extra cycles to get all the soap out, since soap goes a lot farther in soft water. If you don't have a water softener, put the tablet in the part with the lid, and close the lid. You don't need anything in the other (pre-wash) part.

The water temperature is not coming up to the required level. The heater might be failing. Will need a technician to fix unless you are very savvy with technical repairs. Have you tried using the detergent powder in the dispenser to find if results are different.

the only dish detergents that work right now are the miele tabs, and finish has a product called finish all in 1 powerball. everything else on the market right now will leave your dishes dirty, and will leave residues behind making your glasses cloudy and your dishes dull. describe the noise better and i will try to help.

You might want to try a different detergent. Try one that has a three in one combination. Like Finish powerball tabs. Hope this is helpful.

Make sure you have at least 125 degrees coming into the dishwasher.

Most european dishwashers are water conserving and energy saving. You have to be very careful in the type of detergent that you use. Plain, original cascade powder works fine in your Miele. Use 1/2 of the recommended amount, as your dishwasher uses much less water than the american machines that the amounts are written for. avoid cascade with additives such as bleach, or dawn. these additional components in the detergent do not rinse off well with the reduced water quantity, and will leave a gritty white residue on your dishes. Stick with the plain powder. I use Finish tablets with the red powerball, and I dont add rinse aid. These tablets work great in the Miele, asko, Bosch, and other imported dishwashers.

One caution on your china and crystal setting, your manual states that if you want to use the china and crystal cycle, the dishwasher should be connected to cold water only. The temperature of the china and crystal setting is limited to 115 degrees. your hot water is probably much hotter. if your dishwasher is connected to hot water, it will defeat the purpose of the lower temperature cycle. you will get etching on your crystal glasses.

Remember, the Miele will heat its own water one batch at a time. Connect it to cold for energy efficiency, hot for shorter cycle times. but cold only for china and crystal.
Enjoy your machine.

try hotter water

Yes there have been some issues with these stuff in dishwashers without flood protection. If you want to use them you will have to get a anti-flood attachment for your washer. So its up to you to decide..
