Cottons and Minimum iron
PowerWash 2.0, the washing technique
developed by Miele, is activated in the
Cottons
programme with small and me-
dium-sized loads and in the
Minimum
iron
programme
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash 2.0 washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces the amount of
energy used.
Activation
The washing machine calculates the
load at the beginning of the wash pro-
gramme. PowerWash 2.0 is activated if
the following conditions are present:
– there is a small to medium-sized
laundry load in the
Cottons
pro-
gramme and in the
Minimum iron
programme.
– the temperature selected must not be
more than 60 °C.
– the final spin speed selected must
not be lower than 600 rpm.
– CapDosing (

) has not been se-
lected for the main wash.
With some options (e.g. Pre-wash,
Water plus) PowerWash 2.0 is not ac-
tivated.
Special features
–
Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the pro-
gramme. During spinning, the water
discharged is sprayed back into the
laundry in order to achieve optimum
moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If neces-
sary, the washing machine will pump
water away or take in a little more
fresh water.
–
Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.
–
Use of detergent
Make sure you add the correct
amount of detergent (for smaller
loads).
For optimum detergent application,
use the TwinDos function.
