Clean machine
With frequent washing at low temperat-
ures there is a danger of a build-up of
bacteria in the washer-dryer.
Cleaning the washer-dryer will signific-
antly reduce bacteria, mould and
biofilm and prevent the build-up of un-
pleasant odours.
Start the
Clean machine
programme at
the latest when the
Hygiene info
mes-
sage appears in the display.
Tip:
Optimum results can be achieved
by using Miele machine cleaner. Altern-
atively, a multi-purpose detergent can
be used.
Starting the programme
Select
Clean machine
.
Dispense the washing machine
cleaner or multi-purpose detergent
directly in the drum.
Do
not
load any laundry. The drum
must be empty for the cleaning pro-
cess.
Touch the
Start/Stop
sensor control.
The programme will start.
Rinse out fluff
During drying, fluff develops and can
collect in the drum and suds container.
You can rinse out fluff before the ma-
chine is used again so that this fluff
(e.g. from dark coloured textiles) cannot
be deposited on other items (e.g. light
coloured textiles) in the next load or
cause a blockage in the washer-dryer.
The
Rinse out fluff programme
must
not be used for rinsing laundry. En-
sure there are no items of laundry in
the drum before starting the pro-
gramme.
Starting the programme
Select
Rinse out fluff.
Do not use detergent.
Touch the
Start/Stop
sensor.
Any fluff will be rinsed away within a
few minutes.
If necessary wipe any remaining fluff
off the door sealing ring and door
glass.
Switch the washer-dryer off.
