The key to good wash results is finding
the correct combination of detergent
and temperature, and then allowing the
washing machine to optimize their us-
age through its programming. Program
lengths can vary for this reason.
The fully electronic controls offer a com-
bination of simple operation with many
optional features. For instance, since a
main wash generally gives good results
for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle
has been made a user selectable op-
tion, saving time,water and energy over
older full cycle machines.
With the "Hydromatic" system, the drum
can revolve at various speeds. Faster
and slower agitation speeds along with
pauses for soaking, combine to ensure
excellent wash 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!).
Operational noise, no matter what pro-
gram is selected, is minimized through
the use of an accurately balanced drum
and special sound insulation.
Economy
To conserve energy, remember the fol-
lowing tips:
–The automatic load control feature
will adjust the water level for loads up
to 11 lbs (5kg). Washing with the
maximum load specified for each
program saves water and energy.
–Use the correct amount of detergent
required for the water hardness in
your area.
–Miele recommends the use of pow-
der detergents, as their characteris-
tics allow them to perform better in
this machine than liquid detergents.
If the wash is not heavily stained, select
a lower temperature than indicated on
the wash care label.
