,
Disconnect the machine from the
electricity supply by switching off at
the wall socket and withdrawing the
plug before any cleaning and
maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
,
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaning agents.
These might damage plastic
surfaces and other components
because of the chemicals they
contain. The machine must not be
hosed down.
^ Clean the casing with a mild
non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap
and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^ The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless-steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Extra cleaning
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)
with powder detergent approx. every 6
weeks to help prevent deposits building
up in the machine. These can occur
when washing is mainly done at low
temperatures, and also lead to
unpleasant smells. If you have no
reason to wash occassionally at this
high temperature, then run a Cottons
95°C programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.
