Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the washing machine
Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive
detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
Clean the facia panel with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
The drum and any other stainless steel parts
can be cleaned using a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner according to the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Do not use any scouring agent or solvent
cleaner.
If you are unsure about a particular product
or need further advice please contact your
nearest Miele Sales office. See back page
for address.
Remove any deposits from the door seal
with a damp cloth.
Build-up of rust
The drum and suds container are manufac-
tured from rust-free stainless steel.
It is, however, possible that water with a high
iron content or foreign bodies in the wash,
(e.g. paper clips or metal buttons), may lead
to the formation of superficial rust spots in
the drum and/or suds container, especially if
the machine is not used for a long time.
Stainless steel components should be
cleaned regularly with a proprietary cleaning
agent for stainless steel. This must be done
if rust appears!
Door seals should also be regularly checked
to make sure that nothing has got trapped in
them. Clean them regularly.
Cleaning the drainage system
Machine with Drain pump:
Check the fluff filter initially after 3-4 washes
to ascertain how often it is likely to require
cleaning.

^ Switch the machine off, (either open the
door or switch off at the isolator).
^ Open the drain access flap.
^ Place a 2 litre capacity dish underneath
the drain fixture.
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do
not take it right out. Approx. 2 litres of wa-
ter will drain out of the hose.
If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will
be retained in the machine, (max. 30 l). In
this case, screw the fluff filter back into posi-
tion and empty the dish before repeating the
procedure as often as necessary.
