1. Preparing the laundry
27
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and components in the
machine.
Sorting 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.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain
excess dye and should be washed sep‐
arately several times before being inclu‐
ded in a mixed load. Always wash white
and coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐
erably while still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Useful tip: Stains can be pre-treated
using some handy tricks, which can be
found in "Miele's guide to laundry
care". Please contact Miele to obtain a
copy of this booklet.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzine) to pre-treat a stain, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but‐
tons) are protected, and that the
cleaning agent is rinsed off before
washing the garment in the machine.
Do not use solvent-based clean‐
ing agents in or on this machine.
General tips
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiff‐
eners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– 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 being rol‐
led up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufactur‐
er as not washable on the care label
( symbol).
