Energy and water consumption
– To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
program you are using.
The energy and water consumption
will then be the lowest in relation to
the size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load control
system will reduce the amount of
water and energy used.
– Use the
Express
program for smaller,
lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20 °C
). Using the corresponding
temperature settings will save energy.
– Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odours to build up in the
washing machine. Miele therefore
recommends cleaning the washing
machine once every month.
The washing machine provides you
with a reminder with the message
Sanitize info: Run a high temp. program or
the "Clean Machine" program
in the
display.
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended on the
packaging.
– Adjust the dosage to the level of
soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. ⅓ less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
– Only use highly efficient detergent
with the following label:
When drying with a tumble dryer
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash program to save energy in
the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
