Cleaning and care

Descaling the washer
If the correct amount of detergent is
dispensed, the machine should not
need 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.

out regularly.

as it goes. Press down on the red
