Environmentally friendly washing

Energy and water consumption Detergent consumption

-Make use of the maximum load of the respective wash program.

The energy and water consumption will then be the lowest in relation to the size of the load.

-When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the washing machine's automatic load control system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.

-Use the Express program for small, lightly soiled loads.

-Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures. Using the corresponding temperature settings will save energy.

-Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odors to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month.

The washing machine provides you with a reminder with the message

Sanitize info: Run the “Sanitize” or “Clean

Machine” program in the display.

-Use the TwinDos system for exact dispensing.

-Adjust the dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry.

-Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended on the packaging.

-Only use high efficiency detergent with the following label:

When drying with a tumble

dryer

Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash program to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash program in

Settings under Consumption.

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Damage due to foreign objects.

Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam.

Sort the laundry by care label and color.

Tip: Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft cloth. Do not rub!

Tip: Stains (such as blood, egg, coffee, and tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele directly or submit a request via Internet page to obtain or view a copy of this manual.

Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents

Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.

When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.

Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.

When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop.

Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

General tips

-Curtains: Remove any lead weights or strips before washing.

-Loose bra underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.

-Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.

-Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

Do not wash items with the symbol on the fabric care label.

2. Selecting a program

3. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

Closing the door

Take hold of the door and pull it open.

Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.

The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

Tip: Please note the maximum load for different wash programs. The relevant program load is always shown in the display when you select a program.

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Selecting program settings

Selecting a temperature/spin

speed

You can alter the pre-set temperature/ spin speed of a wash program if this is permitted by the program.

The temperatures reached inside the washing machine might not be the same as the temperatures selected. Perfect wash results are achieved through a combination of energy use and wash duration.

4. Selecting program settings

SmartStart

Setting the time period

The SmartStart function lets you define a time period during which your washing machine will start automatically. The start takes place via a signal, e.g., from your energy supplier, that indicates that the electricity rate is particularly economical. Please check with your local utility provider for availability.

This function is active when the

SmartGrid setting is switched on.

The time period can be defined between 15 minutes and 24 hours. During this period, the washing machine waits for the signal from the energy supplier. If no signal is sent during the defined period, the washing machine starts the wash program.

If you have activated the SmartGrid function in Settings, SmartStart in instead of Start in will appear in the display when you touch the sensor button (see “Settings – SmartGrid”).

The procedure for setting this is the same as for setting the time for Delay Start.

Use the sensor buttons to enter the hour and confirm your entry with the OK sensor button.

The hour will be saved and the minute number block will be highlighted.

Use the sensor buttons to enter the minutes and confirm your entry with the OK sensor button.

Press the Start/Add laundry sensor button to start the wash program with SmartStart.
