Environmentally friendly washing

• Make use of the maximum load that the wash program can accommodate. This will keep energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.
• Use the Express program for small, lightly soiled loads.
• Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g., 70°F/20°C). 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
