I’ve got a Miele washing machine that I bought second-hand, and of course it didn’t come with the booklet. When I tried to figure out the programs, I ended up pressing random buttons until I gave up. I went on the official site but couldn’t find my exact model since it’s a bit older. Has anyone had luck tracking down the right manual without going in circles for hours? I’m curious what worked best for you.
I’ve been in a very similar spot with my Miele vacuum. It was missing the manual, and the official site only had newer versions that didn’t fully match mine. After some searching, I ended up on https://manuals.online/miele where they’ve got a ton of models in one place. It’s not always 100% the same year or region, but I’ve found that most of the instructions are close enough to get the job done. I just saved the PDF on my phone so I wouldn’t need to look for it again.
Sometimes I think people underestimate how easy it is to lose track of paper manuals. They get tossed in a drawer or buried under bills, and then years later everyone’s left scratching their head. What surprises me more is how often appliances stay in use for decades while the original documentation vanishes after a move or a big cleanup. Digital copies help, but they can disappear too if you forget where you stored them.
