How to wash correctly

Brief instructions

The bold headings numbered(￿, ￿, ￿, ...) show the overall sequence of steps, and may be used as short-cut instructions.

￿Prepare the laundry

￿Empty all pockets.

￿Foreign objects (e.g., nails, coins, paper clips) can damage garments and the washer itself.

Pre-treat stains

￿Before washing, treat fabrics to loosen stains; it is best to do so while the stains are still fresh. Blot stains with a colourfast cloth to remove. Do not rub.

Common stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea, etc.) can typically be addressed with the help of the Miele laundry care guide. For a copy, contact Miele directly, or visit the Miele Website.

￿When pre-treating fabrics with solvent-based products (gasoline, for example), make sure that the product does NOT come into contact with any plastic parts.

￿NEVER use solvent-based cleaners (e.g., gasoline, cleaner's solvent) on or around the washing machine.

Sort the laundry

￿Sort garments by colour and care requirements (see collar or side seam for garment tags).

Dark items may bleed colour for the first few washes. To avoid staining, take care to wash light and dark items separately.

General information:

–Curtains: Remove any curtain hardware or weights, or tie the curtains in a laundry bag.

–Stitch down or remove any loose underwires in bras.

–Close any zippers, hooks and eyes before washing.

–Close duvet covers and pillowcases to prevent small items from getting inside.

Do not wash items that are labelled Do not wash (Care symbol ￿).
