Cleaning the drum

Miele suggests running a
"maintenance cycle" approx. once a
month to ensure that your washing
machine remains clean and free of any
soil buildup or odors.
^ Do not add laundry to the drum.
^ Select the "Sanitize" program.
^ Add a 1/4 cup of detergent and/or
bleach to the respective
compartment (if desired).
^ Run the program as normal through
to completion.
Desclaing the washer
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.
