– Best-in-class cleaning logic. 3. Drying Performance – The Infamous Plastic Problem Miele’s auto-open door drying is brilliant for glass and ceramics, but plastics have always been a weak spot. Firmware 3.7.17 addresses this with two specific changes: A. Extended Final Rinse Temperature On 3.6.2, the final rinse for “Extra Dry” option reached 65°C. 3.7.17 pushes it to 69°C for the last 4 minutes. This extra heat means more thermal mass for plastics to shed water. In my tests, Tupperware lids came out 85% dry vs. 60% dry before. Still not perfect, but a meaningful improvement. B. Door Opening Logic Change Previously, the door would pop open when the internal temperature dropped to 55°C. 3.7.17 waits until 48°C. This keeps humidity trapped slightly longer, allowing more condensation to occur before fresh air rushes in. The result: less water pooling on concave surfaces (e.g., spoon handles, baby bottle nipples). miele 3.7.17
