It should be said right away that the Miele dishwasher meets the most stringent requirements of our time. This manufacturer goes to great lengths to ensure that it is equipped with the most up-to-date features.

The goods of the German brand are well known. In their manufacture, only modern and reliable materials with excellent wear resistance are used. Many leading engineers are involved in the development of dishwashers. The pallet position is adjustable on all three axes. Experts have thought of everything to ensure the ergonomics of the models.

A good example of such machines is G5430 SC BRWS. By default, this model is colored white. You can store up to 9 crockery sets inside. With a depth of 600 mm, the width of the product reaches 448 mm. Users can use both intensive and gentle wash modes. Designation of indication of program execution and reliable protection against leaks are provided. The designers worked on 5 programs, including the half-load mode. The machine is equipped with a special closer and a system that indicates the remaining time.

Alternatively, you can consider G5000 SC BRWS. Up to 14 crockery sets can be placed in such a machine up to 60 cm wide. There are 5 programs and a third basket. The sound volume does not exceed 45 dB.

Model G5260 SCVi CLST meets all consumer requirements. It holds 14 sets of dishes. The surface is painted in stainless steel color.

An example of such a built-in dishwasher can be considered G 5890 SCVi... Its width is 45 cm. The designers have provided 12 wash programs. You can use the "extra clean" and "extra dry" programs. The 3D cutlery tray in combination with a special basket guarantees optimal placement of crockery of various sizes. Peculiarities:

Among the detergents stands out favorably rinse aid 21995496EU4 CC2. It is supplied in packs of 0.5 liters. Thanks to this composition, the dishes are dried quickly and efficiently. The formation of streaks and streaks is completely excluded. The glass will be reliably protected from destruction. And also you need to look at freshener 21995493EU3. This flavoring agent successfully suppresses bad odors. The substance contains imitators of green tea and lemon. The fragrance will last for a long time. Usually the packaging is enough for 50-60 washing cycles. Branded salt is supplied in packages of 1.5 kg. The drug is collected in large grains. It resists limescale very well.

It is also necessary to carefully select the powder. It is best to give preference to phosphate-free formulations with the addition of superenzymes; tablets can only be used that are recommended for the particular dishwasher. But before using any means, you have to install your Miele machine correctly. This can be done even without contacting professionals. Compact models are placed on countertops or under sinks. In the absence of a special cabinet, it is more correct to put a free-standing device. It is very important to prepare competent drawings, taking into account the dimensions and connection points.

You can turn on the machine only through a special moisture-resistant outlet. Any tees and extensions are not allowed. The socket must be properly grounded. It is supposed to be supplied with current through a differentiating machine for 16 A. And a voltage stabilizer will also be required.

The connection to the water supply is traditionally carried out using a mixer. However, far from the sink, you can simply bump into the pipe. The drain is attached either directly to the sewer or to the siphon. The connection points must be reinforced with clamps.

Other nuances:

• only children from 8 years old can use the dishwasher on their own;
• regularly check the serviceability of the machine body, its wires, hoses;
• it is impossible to use damaged devices;
• access to the outlet must be free at all times;
• do not use hand detergents and other reagents not intended for dishwashers;
• you cannot wash in dishwashers any items that can deteriorate from high temperatures;
• no accessories other than original Miele products are allowed;
• open the door during operation with extreme caution, avoiding the release of hot water and steam;
• it is required to actively monitor the quality and hardness of the water.

Additionally, there are some more tips:

• put small items on top and large ones down;
• do not put dishes on top of each other;
• heavily dried and burnt dishes must be soaked for at least 10 minutes;
• the dishes should not create obstacles for the impact of the jets and for the rotation of the blades;
• silver, wood and glued objects cannot be washed in dishwashers;
• earthenware should be processed only at very low temperatures;
• porcelain and glazed objects were not originally intended for such washing;
• intensive washing can be chosen only for the dirtiest dishes;
• you need to install the device so that it is freely ventilated and does not overheat (which often occurs when surrounded by furniture with poor calculation).

Even such reliable dishwashers sometimes have various malfunctions, and many of them can be repaired at home. You just need to know the key errors and their encodings.

So the signal F01 indicates a short circuit in the water heater or in the wires. In this case, it is impossible to turn on the heating of water and the rinsing mode. You can fix the problem:

• checking the indicator and cables (finding a break);
• checking the connection to the network;
• replacement of a faulty temperature sensor.

Signal F11 served when it is impossible to drain the water. In this case, you need to check:

• sewerage;
• drain pan;
• filters;
• relays that monitor pressure (sometimes they have to be changed).

The problem is solved:

• cleaning the valve in the pan or replacing it;
• cleaning the drain pump;
• debugging the pump power supply.

Error F14 indicates problems with water intake. It is often associated with faulty pressure switches. Repair means:

• checking the switch itself;
• assessment of power supply and cable harness;
• replacement of problematic parts of the dishwasher;
• debugging and replacement of the circulation pump;
• removal of foreign objects.

Crash F24 indicates that the dishwasher is experiencing problems with the heating relay or contacts. As in other cases, the sound signal is given for 2 minutes. Moisture on the relay is often the root cause. In some cases, instead of replacing the entire relay, it is sufficient to change the plug of its heater on the output side. It's easy to check - just measure the resistance.

There are also a number of other errors:

• F69 - the circulation pump is clogged;
• F84 - incorrect position of the gate valve;
• F78 - jamming of the pump;
• F79 - lack of communication with the unit that controls the pump;
• F19 - extremely tight rotation of the flow meter;
• F25 - the required temperature cannot be reached.

In general, customer opinions on Miele products are favorable. They often indicate that all the required programs are present and that the dishes are optimal. They also note the abundance of new technologies and the high mechanical strength of the baskets. A small drawback is the leaving of water droplets on plastic surfaces... Dishwashers of this brand work quietly, even a set of water is noticeable only with active listening.

With the capacity of such devices, too, everything is in order. You can count on saving water and electricity. However, washing metal pots and pans does not always achieve the ideal result. Practicality and safety in general are at a decent level.

Other reviews pay attention to such nuances as:

• the need to rinse the dishes before washing;
• specific drying structure;
• the ability to wash off even stuck and dried porridge;
• noises in some specimens;
• lack of programs for limited download;
• periodically remaining smudges (which is more likely, however, with the wrong selection of rinses).
