Environmentally friendly washing

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 washing machine's
automatic load control system will
reduce the amount of water and
energy used.
- Use the Express program for small,
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.
When the  indicator light lights up
on the control field and  appears on
the time display, the washing
machine must be cleaned.

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.
