Economical usage
WARNING – To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to per-
sons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating
this appliance.
The key to good wash results is select-
ing the correct combination of deter-
gent and temperature, and then allow-
ing the washing machine to optimize
their usage through its programming.
Programme lengths can vary for this
reason: With the “Hydromatic” system,
the drum can revolve at various
speeds. Faster and slower agitation
speeds along with pauses for soaking,
combine to assure excellent results.
The automatic load control feature en-
sures the correct water level for the
type of fabric and size of 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 when running.
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 remem-
ber 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 powder deter-
gents, as their characteristics allow
them to perform better in front-load-
ing machines than regular powder or
liquid detergents.
If the wash is not heavily soiled, se-
lect a lower temperature than indi-
cated on the wash care label, but do
not use the “Short” option.
Alternatively, for lightly soiled loads,
use the “Short” option with no reduc-
tion in temperature.
