The Recommended Detergent for a Miele Dishwasher
For Miele dishwashers with a built-in water softener, Miele recommends the use of water softener salt, especially in areas with hard water. Hard water leaves mineral residue that results in spots on glassware. Check with your local water company to find out if the home has hard water. If the water company recommends water softener salt, run the dishwasher with 2 quarts of water in the salt container before filling the container with salt to prep the container for future salt usage. Fill the salt container with water softener salt specifically made for dishwashers. Close the compartment lid and the dishwasher door, then run a “Rinse & Hold” cycle without dishes in the dishwasher.
