damage to the machine and the
laundry.

							^Open the drum doorfully.
,Warning, the metal cap located
on the inside of the door glass is
very hot after drying.Do not touch
it. Danger of burning!
^Remove the laundry.
^Check the folds in the door seal for any
small articles, e.g. buttons which might
be lodged there. Remove any fluff from
drying from around the door seal.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left
behind could colour run, shrink or be
damaged in the next washing or
drying programme.
Important:Always remove the laundry
before switching the machine off. This
is important to ensure that the load
size indicator works correctly the next
time the machine is used.
^
Switch the machine off with theI-On/
0-Offbutton.^Close the door. Otherwise there is the
danger of objects being placed
inadvertently in the drum. If these
remained unnoticed and were
washed or dried in the next load, they
could damage the laundry.
After drying
Rinse out fluff programme
The fluff which occurs during drying
can collect in the drum and also in the
suds container. It is best to rinse out this
fluff before the machine is used again
so that it cannot be deposited on the
next load (e.g. fluff from dark garments
being deposited on lighter coloured
items) or cause a blockage.
TheRinse out fluffprogramme must
not
be used for rinsing laundry. Make
sure that there is no laundry in the
drum before starting this programme.
^Switch the machine on.
^
Turn the programme selector to the
Rinse out fluffprogramme.
^
Press theStart/Stopbutton.
The fluff will be rinsed out after a few
minutes.
^
Remove any remaining fluff from
around the door seal.
^
Switch the machine off.
The load size sensor must be
recalibrated to zero after running the
Rinse out fluffprogramme. See
Before using for the first time for
instructions on how to do so.

							,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
manufacturers instructions on the
packaging.
E-Cloth
A microfibre E-Cloth is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
or via the internet (depending on
country), 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 occasionally at this high
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C
programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Remove detergent residues regularly.
^
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
down the release catch and at the

^Use a bottle brush to remove
detergent residues and limescale
from the jets inside the detergent
dispenser drawer housing.
