Good day,
Can you please tell me how to fill our Champion UH200B with soap/rinse aid etc. It is on our yacht and no one onboard knows how to use it- in fat the girls think it is a sanitizer machine only due to it not having the usual compartment for adding products.
Also- which products do you recommend?
Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for your speedy reply. I have ripped out the dishwasher and found two hoses at the back which are marked detergent and rinse. I assume these go in the respective products and are pumped out when the machine runs (2 pumps inside the front panel) There is a control on the front inside the casing that has 4 screws to presumably adjust the timing of each cycle- 1 each for the detergent and rinse aid and 1 for the the drain and 1 for sanitizer. I cant however find the sanitizer hose connection or fillable container. You mentioned the drawers and flaps- but this machine has none of these- think it is designed for a restaurant. So I think you may be referring to a different machine...Hi,

I've found theSpec Sheet for you. This will tell you what your model is and what it does - Click here
I suggest you email their customer service desk for a copy of the guide to be mailed out to you, as I can't locate a PDF version.

In the meantime, You will need dishwasher salt, detergent and rinse aid.
Salt is salt whatever price you pay for it, But dishwasher salt is made into large granules. ( As you're on a yacht it seems ironic you have to buy salt, but there you go)
This will normally be put into a screw cap in the base of the machine inside. You may have to lift out a filter tray to see it.
Fill up with around a kilo. Expect water to come out as you do this. Don't worry - that's normal.
The rinse aid is normally filled on the door panel. Expect a little funnel with numbers near it - just top it right up or to a mark, or an indicator which changes colour. No harm in overfilling - just wasteful.
For your situation, I'd recommend dishwasher tablets that are plastic wrapped - so they dont get damp.
This should go into a drawer or flap on the door, but if not, put it in the utensil rack - it will clean just as well on standard washes, just omit the first rinse if there is one, or load up in stages - rinsing untill you have a full load, then pop a tablet in there before washing.

It sounds like the rinse aid has run out or is not dispensing. streaks on glassware is the usual symptom of this. Check and refil the dispenser. On the final rinse, open the door and you should see soap foam , which will let you know the rinse aid has ejected, or alternatively, if you havent had to fill the dispenser in a long time, I would say its not ejecting. these are not usually repairable and you will have to purchase a new rinse aid dispenser from the manufacturer. I always suggest usung " finish" rinse aid, its the best.
The rinse aid light is just an indicator to let you know the rinse aid is low. You fill it in the container next to where you put the detergent. Just push the yellow button and the lid will pop up. rinse aid is more important on the newer miele dishwashers, as they dont have "active drying" like the older dishwashers did. They depend on the rinse aid to sheet the water off the dishes at the end of the cycle. They are designed this way to reduce energy consumption. If you choose not to use rinse aid, and you dont mind wet dishes at the end of the cycle, either disregard the red light, or fill the rinse aid dispenser with water to trick the machine into thinking it is full.
If you are not going to use the onboard water softener, you can turn it off. Refer to your owners manual, or call miele tech support at 800 843 7231 and they can walk you through the programming to disable the water softener. these are not fault lights, they are simply reminders that you need to fill the containers.
Most likely YES! The rinse aid helps the water to be completely removed and with the water goes the suds, debris, etc. A rinse aid has a sheeting action to effectively remove the water. There are several different brands of rinse aids. Jet Dry is the one that comes immediately to mind.Usually the refill area for the rinse aid is adjacent to the soap dispenser. Your manual will tell you how to add the rinse aid. Once it's been added, your problem should disappear.I hope this helps. If it does, please return to fixya and rate my answer!
The rinse cycle is the same as the wash except the wash uses detergent and the rinse uses rinse aid.
The rinse cycle will dispense rinse aid if you have filled the dispenser. Check this first, that would be the most likely cause. Also in the spring as the water table table in most cities begins to rise the water quality goes down, extra calcium in the water can cause this problem.
Here is a link to help understand that. Let me know if you have questions.
Sorry but thats funny!!lol About the easiest way I know to tell you is take a turkey baster or marinade injector & draw as much as you can out of the reservoir,fill it with water & repeat until you get very little foam when putting water in it.Fill with rinse aid & the rest will just have to work its way through.Should be fine after a few wash cycles.
I did the same thing with my Maytag dishwasher, several times actually, before realizing I was putting blue dish soap in the rinse aid compartment which then wouldn't empty. Then my Maytag started making ominous noises during the rinse cycle (appliance guy said it was "cavitation" noise).
Appliance guy wanted to replace the whole detergent/rinse aid compartment but since he told me the noise was probably caused by the dish soap stuck in the rinse aid compartment, I decided to try to get rid of it first. Here is the method that worked for me; it took most of a day but saved me parts & labor:
1. Get some white vinegar--I used nearly a quart. 2. Fill the rinse aid compartment to brim with the vinegar (overfill) but don't put cap on 3. Raise the dishwasher door slowly until the vinegar drains into the lower part of the chamber (at least this is how my Maytag worked) 4. Agitate the contents as best you can by rapidly shaking the dishwasher door up & down. 5. I also used a small plastic medicine dropper jammed into small openings on each side of the rinse aid compartment to agitate the vinegar by squeezing air into them. 6. Drain the compartment by closing the dishwasher door (move it to full vertical)--vinegar will drain into the bottom of the dishwasher. 7. Repeat above steps a couple times, then fill again w/vinegar, put the cap on and let it stand for awhile. Then drain and repeat the whole routine several times. 8. Blue-colored vinegar will come out which is a good sign (or whatever color your dish soap was). 9. After awhile, I started pouring generous amts of very hot tap water thru the rinse aid compartment, alternating with white vinegar. (No reason you can't use hot vinegar also.) 10. Eventually, all the blue stuff came out & the see-thru levels of the rinse aid compartment were completely clear/empty. 11. Run the dishwasher (I decided to not put any rinse aid in). I got some overfoaming (from the washed out soap) the first time I ran it which I probably could have remedied by adding more vinegar & possibly salt, but the noises were gone! I just ran the cleaned out dishwasher a 2nd time & it was back to its quiet self with no overfoaming.
Takes some patience but hey, beats a big repair bill!!
