Miele W 340, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 14 / 68

– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom-
mended for the programme selected.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. The 95°C Cottons
programme is probably only needed
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.
– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick
wash programme for smaller
amounts of laundry.
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning
normally soiled laundry.
– By using the additional option Soak
for heavily soiled laundry you can se-
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.
– Use the additional option Soak in-
stead of
Pre-wash
with heavily soiled
laundry.
If
Soak is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.
– Use the
Short
wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amounts of detergent
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less deter-
gent).
– Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
– Load recognition and automatic rins-
ing can cause the duration of a
programme to vary greatly. The main
wash may be shortened and a rinse
cycle omitted depending on the
amount of laundry.
