Washing Environmentally And Economically - Miele W 853 Operating Manual

Washing environmentally and economically

– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load. Load to the maximum rec-
ommended for the programme se-
lected.
– The washing times can vary con-
siderably due to the automatic load
adjustment feature. Depending on
the amount of the load, the main
wash may be shortened and one
rinse omitted.
– Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons
programme or the Quick Wash pro-
gramme for smaller amounts of
laundry.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. The 95°C Cottons pro-
gramme is probably only needed in
exceptional circumstances, e.g. for
oil based stains or where a very hot
wash is required.
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-
mally soiled laundry.
– By using the additional option "Soak"
you can select 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.
Washing environmentally and economically
– 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 packa-
ging.
– 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.
