Cleaning and care

A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info)

Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergent can cause bacteria and unpleasant smells to build up in the machine. In order to clean the drum and also to prevent unpleasant smells building up, run a Cottons 75°C programme with powder detergent once a month or when the Hygiene info message appears in the display.

External casing and fascia panel

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

￿The machine must not be hosed down.

￿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.

￿Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent, following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

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

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

The pre-wash and main wash compartments of the detergent dispensing drawer are self-cleaning. For hygiene reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals.

￿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 drawer with hot water.
