Environmentally friendly washing

Energy and water consumption
- Make use of the maximum load that
the wash program can
accommodate.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum 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. Using
the corresponding temperature
settings will save energy.
- Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odors 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.
