New Miele - Hot Smell

[AnnaEickmann]

I just had a new Miele washer/dryer combo machine delivered to me today. In the first cycle that runs to get the machine started with no clothes in it, the washer is giving off a "hot" smell. It's not really a "burning" smell but it smells very hot. And in the first load I washed, it gave off this same smell. What is this and does it go away? Thanks!

It's clearly an unusual smell, which may fade as the machine is used. It may well be just the newness of the washing machine but to be on the safe side it might be better to ring Miele using the number on the instruction book. If you are using 40 degree washes it shouldn't smell hot.
