Miele w864 Washer User Manual


 
Water consumption and energy us
-
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom
-
mended for the programme selected.
Programme durations can vary con
-
siderably due to the automatic load
adjustment feature. Depending on
the amount of laundry, the main wash
may be shortened and one rinse
omitted.
Use the
Mixed Wash
programme or
the
Quick Wash
programme for
smaller amounts of laundry.
To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. The 95°C Cottons
programme is probably only needed
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.
A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-
mally soiled laundry.
By using the additional option
Soak
for heavily soiled laundry you can se
-
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.
Use the additional option
Soak
in
-
stead of
Pre-wash
with heavily soiled
laundry.
If
Soak
is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.
Use the
Short
wash option for nor
-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
Do not exceed the amounts of deter
-
gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Reduce the amounts of detergent
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less deter
-
gent).
Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
