Miele age can't be read from the serial number

Miele doesn't publish a way to work out an appliance's age from its serial number. Look over the rating plate carefully, a production date is sometimes printed on it. If there's no printed date, Miele Customer Service can look it up from the model and serial number.

Look on the rating plate for a printed production or manufacture date.

Canada support: 1-800-565-6435

United States support: 1-888-996-4353

An installation invoice or service record can help establish the equipment’s history. A standards revision year, patent date or manual copyright date is not its manufacture date.
