Cleaning the exterior and
control panel
^
Clean the exterior of the washer with
a mild solution of non-abrasive
detergent or soap and water, and
wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^
Clean the drum with a stainless steel
cleaner specially formulated for use
in a washing machine, available from
Miele.
,
Do not use chemical solvents,
abrasive cleaners, glass or all
purpose cleaners!
They will damage the surface.
Cleaning the drum
Germs can develop when using wash
programs with a low temperature
(below Hot) over several wash cycles.
This can lead to odors in the drum.
^
Once a month run a program with no
laundry using a "Hot" or "Sanitize"
temperature and/or bleach.
If the correct amount of detergent is
dispensed, the machine should not
need to be descaled.
If the washer needs to be descaled,
use a descaling agent with corrosion
protection. These special descaling
agents can be purchased from Miele.
Use as directed on the packaging.
