The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base

to achieve optimum results, the agents
are dispensed separately during the
wash process. The 2 Phase System
cleans both white and coloured textiles
thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and
UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are
available to order from Miele or via the
internet at www.miele-shop.com (see

Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy us‐

are determined by the size of the
load.
To make the most of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the aut
tion system will reduce the amount of
water and energy used.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
