1. Prepare the laundry
22
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on
can cause damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a tex-
tile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea)
can be pre-treated using some handy
tricks which can be found in the Miele
guide to laundry care.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)
do not come into contact with clean-
ing agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
When using solvent-based cleaning
agents, an explosive mixture may
develop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
General tips
- Curtains: remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.
- Sew in or remove any loose underwir-
ing in bras.
- Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes, etc. be-
fore washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer as not washable
according to the symbol on the care la-
bel (symbol).
