David, thanks for the tips. My machine doesn't have water softening capability but so far it hasn't proved to be an issue. I know the water here is fairly hard, but the Miele seems to take it in stride.
I'm currently using my stock of phosphated Cascade along with clear Cascade rinse agent. I bumped the dosage down to 2ml because I was catching a whiff of rinse aid after running a cycle. Glassware is still sparkling, so I might give 1ml a shot and see how it does. The true test will come after I run out of phosphated detergent.
Meanwhile, the Diamante continues to impress. It even made knives that had been used for peanut butter sparkle. That has never happened before with any dishwasher I've owned.
We were puzzled by the "Rinse" light (not the rinse aid refill light) when the machine first ran and thought something could be wrong. Since the washer completed its cycles and all dispensers were activated as per usual, I assumed this indicator light was normal during the wash phase and your photo seems to confirm it, but there is nothing specific about it in the owner's guide.
