Economical usage

The key to good wash results is finding the correct combination of detergent and temperature, and then allowing the washing machine to optimize their usage through its programming. Pro- gramme lengths can vary for this rea- son.

With the “Hydromatic” system, the drum can revolve at various speeds. Faster and slower agitation speeds, along with pauses for soaking, com- bine to ensure excellent results.

The automatic load control feature en- sures the correct water level for the type of fabric and load being washed (even though it may appear as if there is too little water in the drum!).

Because of the accurately balanced drum and special sound insulation, ma- chine noise is minimal while operating.

The fully electronic controls offer a com- bination of simple operation with many optional features.

For instance, since a main wash gener- ally gives good results for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle has been made a user selectable option, saving time,water and energy over older full cycle machines.

Economy

For optimum economical usage, re- member the following tips:

–The automatic load control feature will adjust the water level for loads between 1 and 5 kg. However, if possible, load the machine to its maximum capacity in order to use water and energy to the best advant- age.

–Use only the correct amount of deter- gent required for the water hardness in your area. Miele recommends the use of low-sudsing detergents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in front-loading ma- chine than regular powder or liquid detergents.

If the wash is not heavily stained, select a lower temperature than indicated on the wash care label.
