Coupling seal
If, after prolonged use, the water con‐
tainer becomes difficult to remove
and replace or the fault message
appears, rub a small amount of the
silicone grease supplied (see "Over‐
view - Accessories supplied") into the
inside of the coupling seal.
Do not take the seal out to lubricate it.
Misuse of silicone grease!
Remove any silicone grease from
your skin either by wiping it off or by
washing it off.
If the grease gets into the eyes, it
must be rinsed out with plenty of
clean water.
If it is swallowed, seek medical ad‐
vice.
The coupling seal should be replaced
with a new one if it becomes brittle or
porous or if an unusually large
amount of water collects on the floor
of the water container compartment.
Coupling seals can be ordered from
Miele (see the end of this booklet for
contact details).
Cleaning and care
Only use the silicone grease sup‐
plied. On no account must margarine
or oil or any other domestic grease
or fat be used, as these can cause
the seal to swell.
