Cleaning And Care - Miele WS 5243 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and Care

The machine should be cleaned, wherever
possible, immediately after use.
On no account use high pressure cleaners or
hose down the machine.
The drum is made of non-rusting stainless
steel. However water with a high iron content
or foreign bodies in the wash, (e.g. paper
clips or metal buttons), may cause superficial
rust spots in the drum - especially if the ma-
chine is not used for some time. These can
be removed with a proprietary scouring pow-
der.
The casing, control panel and any plastic
parts such as buttons and control switches
should be cleaned with a suitable mild clean-
ing agent or with a damp cloth and then
wiped dry. A proprietary stainless steel clean-
ing agent can be used on stainless steel parts
of the casing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as
these will scratch the surface.
Do not cover or block the overflow from the
machine.
Dispenser compartments and siphons
After use these should be cleaned with warm
water to remove any detergent or other
residues. The siphon tubes in the dispenser
compartments should also be cleaned.
Pull the siphon tube out and clean with hot
water before replacing.
Check the drum door regularly for a build
up of fluff and clean as necessary. Check
the door locking mechanism regularly to
ensure it is working correctly.
Cleaning the cooling fan grille
The ventilation slits in the grille cover for the
cooling fan at the side of the machine must
never be covered over or blocked. They
should be checked regularly for a build up of
fluff and cleaned as necessary.
The filters in the water inlet valves must be
checked from time to time for soiling and
cleaned if necessary.
