Washing environmentally and economically
27
Energy and water consumption
- To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load size for
the wash programme you are using.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum in relation
to the size of the load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water con-
sumption generally have a longer run-
ning time. By extending the pro-
gramme running time, the wash tem-
perature that is actually reached can
be reduced while still providing the
same wash results.
For example, the
ECO 40-60programme has a longer
running time than the Cottons40°C
or 60°C programme. The
ECO 40-60programme is more effi-
cient in terms of energy and water
consumption but has a longer run-
ning time.
- Use the Express 20programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
- Use the hot water connection to save
energy.
- You have the option to use alternative
water supplies (e.g.rain water).
Hygiene in the washing ma-
chine
Washing at low temperatures and/or us-
ing 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 message Hygiene info: Select
“Maintenance” and run the “Clean ma-
chine” programme. appears in the dis-
play, the washing machine must be
cleaned.
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the re-
sidual moisture in the laundry and the
sound emissions of the washing ma-
chine.
The higher the spin speed, the lower
the residual moisture in the laundry.
However, the sound emissions of the
washing machine will increase.
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash programme to save energy
in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
