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 manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not use any scouring agent or solvent
cleaner.
To ensure the correct functioning of the air
gap, any significant detergent residues must
be removed from the canal.
Cleaning the filters in the water inlet
The washing machine has the following filters
to protect the inlet valves:
– in the free end of any water inlet hose,
– in the water inlet valve(s) for connec-
tion hose to machine.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
Close the stopcock.
Carefully unscrew the knurled coupling
connecting the inlet hose to the stopcock.

Remove the rubber seal from the recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plas-
tic filter bar, remove the filter and clean.
Put the filter and seal back in the reverse
order.
The filters in the inlet hose should be checked
and cleaned approx. every 6 months.
Inspect the inlet hose which is subjected to
high pressure while the machine is in oper-
ation. The hose should be replaced if there
are small cracks in the surface, or if it has
been otherwise damaged.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a hose
able to withstand pressure up to 70 bar.
Miele's own hoses meet this requirement.
After use the detergent box should be
cleaned with warm water to remove any
detergent residues.
The siphon tubes in compartments § and
y should also be cleaned.
Unscrew the screws next to the siphon
tubes. Pull the siphon tubes upwards to
remove for cleaning in warm water. Re-
place in the reverse order (the siphon
tubes must be hooked in correctly).
