soil buildup or odors.

Add 1/4 cup of detergent and/or
bleach to the respective
compartment (if desired).

Run the program as normal through
to completion.
Descaling the washer
If the correct amount of detergent is
dispensed, the machine should not
need to be descaled.

agents can be purchased from Miele.
Use as directed on the packaging.
