,
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 agents is available to
order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department, or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
External casing and fascia
panel
Clean the casing using a Miele E-Cloth,
or 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 and any stainless steel
outer panels can be cleaned using a
suitable stainless-steel cleaning
agent following the instructions on
the packaging.
,
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaning agents.
These could damage plastic
surfaces and other parts.
Extra cleaning
Carry out a hot wash (60°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 can lead to
unpleasant smells. If you have no
reason to wash occasionally at high
temperatures, then run a Cottons 95°C
programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
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 detergent drawer with hot
water.
