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
consumption generally have a longer
running time. By extending the
programme running time, the wash
temperature that is actually reached
can be reduced while still providing
the same wash results.
For example, the Cottons
programme has a longer running time
than the Cottons40°C or 60°C
programme, but the Cottons
programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
- 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
settings will save energy.
- If energy-saving water heating
sources, such as a solar water
heating system, are used, we
recommend using the hot water
connection.
Hygiene in the washing
machine
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using 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 start the “Clean
machine” programme. appears in the
display, the washing machine must be
cleaned.
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the
residual moisture in the laundry and the
sound emissions of the washing
machine.
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.
