Cleaning and care

￿Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine.

￿The washing machine must not be hosed down.

A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products are available to order from your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

External casing and fascia panel

￿Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

￿The drum can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless-steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

￿Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain.

Extra cleaning

Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above) with powder detergent approx. every 6 weeks to help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and also lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C programme with detergent but no laundry at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove detergent residues regularly.

￿Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.

￿Clean the detergent drawer with warm water.
