Washing Environmentally And Economically - Miele SUPERTRONIC Operating Instructions Manual

Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents enable washing
at reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C).
Use appropriate temperature
settings for saving energy.
– To maintain hygienic conditions in
the washing machine, it is
recommended that you occasionally
run a wash with a temperature of at
least 60°C. The
message in the display reminds you
to do this.
– Using the Cottons Eco 40°C
programme is recommended for a
normally soiled load and is the
programme used in energy/water
consumption tests in accordance
with AS/NZS 2040 (refer to
Consumption data).

speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
