Brief instructions
The bold headings numbered(
A, B,
C, ...) show the overall sequence of
steps, and may be used as short-cut
instructions.
A Prepare the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects (e.g., nails,
coins, paper clips) can damage
garments and the washer itself.
Pre-treat stains
^ Before washing, treat fabrics to
loosen stains; it is best to do so while
the stains are still fresh. Blot stains
with a colourfast cloth to remove. Do
not rub.
Common stains (blood, egg, coffee,
tea, etc.) can typically be addressed
with the help of the Miele laundry care
guide. For a copy, contact Miele
directly, or visit the Miele Website.
,
When pre-treating fabrics with
solvent-based products (gasoline,
for example), make sure that the
product does NOT come into
contact with any plastic parts.
,
NEVER use solvent-based
cleaners (e.g., gasoline, cleaner's
solvent) on or around the washing
machine.
Sort the laundry
^ Sort garments by colour and care
requirements (see collar or side
seam for garment tags).
Dark items may bleed colour for the first
few washes. To avoid staining, take
care to wash light and dark items
separately.
General information:
– Curtains: Remove any curtain
hardware or weights, or tie the
curtains in a laundry bag.
– Stitch down or remove any loose
underwires in bras.
– Close any zippers, hooks and eyes
before washing.
– Close duvet covers and pillowcases
to prevent small items from getting
inside.
Do not wash items that are labelled Do
not wash (Care symbol
