Well Miele in the UK got on to the technical bods in Germany and provided a sequence to unlock the demo mode. Apparantly the model does have one. All sorted now.

Here is the sequence should anyone need it for future reference:

Press and hold the Start/Stop button while switching the unit on with the On/Off switch.
As soon as the Start/Stop illumination ring lights constantly, after approx. 5 sec., release the Start/Stop button.
Immediately press and hold the Start/Stop button until the Demo-Mode is activated, approx. 4 seconds.
Demo-Program deactivation: Follow the instruction for Demo-Mode access above.

So it looks like Miele are going to pick it up ? I think they will send a engineer first to look at it.
I have a Miele dishwasher and washing machine and never have i seen "demo mode" on my washing machine. Sounds like you have one that usually goes to somewhere like the Ideal Home Exhibition .It just gets used for demonstration .
Miele is a great make and it will last for years .They cost more but are well worth it.
