Miele TipsMachine cleaning program — Miele recommends regularly cleaning the drum at a high temperature. Run the dedicated machine-clean program or a cottons program at 90 °C (optionally with a towel). The appliance notifies you when cleaning is due. Detergent drawer — remove and wash it with warm water and mild detergent; powder and softener deposits cause odours. TwinDos / UltraPhase — periodically rinse the automatic-dosing reservoirs per the instructions; use genuine Miele products for fewer deposits. Water inlet filter — the mesh at the inlet hose connection can clog with limescale and debris; clean it as needed. Rubber door seal (gasket) — after every wash wipe it and remove leftover water and lint to prevent mould. Drain filter — behind the flap at the bottom; check and clean it occasionally (coins, buttons, lint). Miele care products — IntenseClean thoroughly degreases and refreshes the washing machine interior. Leave the door and drawer ajar — after washing, so the drum dries and stale smells are avoided. Lint filter — clean it **after every cycle**; a clean filter means faster drying and lower consumption. Heat exchanger / heat-pump filters — on heat-pump models, rinse them per the manufacturer's instructions every few months. Condensate tank — empty it after every dry (unless the unit is plumbed to a drain). Moisture sensors — wipe the metal sensors in the drum so they measure humidity accurately.
