Extras

You can use the Extras sensor to augment the wash programmed.

Quick
The programmed duration is reduced. Mechanical action and energy usage are increased.
Eco
The Eco Extra helps to save energy. The wash temperature is reduced and the wash duration is increased in return. The wash programmed continues to provide excellent results.
Water plus
The water level in the wash and rinse stages is increased. You can select by how much the water level is increased (see “Settings – Water plus level”).
Extra rinse
An additional rinse cycle can be carried out to give a better rinse result.
Single Wash
For efficiently washing a very small load (< 1 kg) in a normal wash programmed. The wash duration is reduced. Please note the following advice:
– Use liquid detergent
– Reduce the dosage to a maximum of 50% of the amount quoted for a ½ load
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry undergoes a smoothing process at the end of the programmed. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will give a better result. Follow the instructions in the display. Small loads give a better result. The garments must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer and suitable for ironing .
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. dust and sand.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains. A duration of between 30 minutes and 6 hours can be chosen for the soak process. See “Settings” for more information. The factory default setting is 30 minutes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is increased through more intense mechanical action and the application of more heat energy. Allegro Wash
This option should be used where high standards of hygiene are required. More energy is used to lengthen temperature holding times and more water is used to increase rinsing efficiency. The items must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer and suitable for ironing .
Extra gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration are reduced. Lightly soiled fabrics are washed more gently. Extra quiet This option reduces noise levels during the wash programmed. Use this if you want to wash during quiet periods (for instance, when children are sleeping). The final spin is automatically reduced to (Rinse hold). The programmed duration is increased.
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programmed.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the use of liquid detergent can lead to a build-up of mold and bacteria in the detergent dispenser drawer.
■ For hygiene reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals even if you are using the Twin Dos system exclusively.
■ Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt.

■ Press down the release button and, at the same time, pull the drawer right out of the machine.
■ Clean the detergent drawer with warm water.

Cleaning the siphon tube and the fabric softener channel

■ Pull the siphon out of the compartment and clean it under warm running water.
■ Clean the siphon tube in the same way. Refit the siphon.
■ Clean the fabric softener channel using a brush and warm water.

Liquid starch can cause the siphon to become clogged. Make sure that you clean the siphon and siphon tube particularly thoroughly after using liquid starch a few times.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

■ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odors to build up in the washing machine. Use the Clean machine programmed to clean the machine. Note the message in the display:
Hygiene info: Select “Maintenance” and start the “Clean machine” programmed

Cleaning the Twin Dos system
Damage resulting from dried washing detergent. If the system has not been used for a long time (more than two months), the detergent in the hoses can become viscous or dry out. The hoses can become blocked and would then need to be cleaned by a service technician. Clean the Twin Dos system.
To clean the system, a refillable Twin Dos container is required (sold separately), available online at shop.miele.com.

How can a Miele washing machine reduce my energy bills?

Miele washing machines are amongst the most energy-efficient appliances available. Most of the range is rated A (the highest rating achievable under the revamped rating scheme), and no appliance is rated lower than B. That’s why Miele washing machines are ‘Which Best Buy’ and ‘Eco Buy’ awarded.
All washing machines from Miele elevate efficiency to exemplary new heights by never using more water or electricity than necessary. Every model features intelligent load recognition, capable of analysing the current load and optimising output accordingly.
It can often be difficult to gauge the precise impact your appliances have on your utilities. Miele removes the guessing games from your budgeting with EcoFeedback. Accurate consumption forecasts are provided pre-wash, with precise data available once the cycle has concluded. Make informed decisions regarding what’s best for your home with Miele.

How is the longevity of Miele washing machines assured?

Essential appliances have a nasty habit of giving up the ghost at the worst times. That’s why all Miele washing machines and appliances available online are tested for 20 years of average use. That’s 10,000 hours of performance testing (triple the stress-testing of some car engines). When you buy a washing machine online from Miele, you’re investing in the future.
Such unprecedented longevity is achieved through one-of-a-kind engineering. The ProfiEco motor, used in all washing machines by Miele, adopts a brushless design to eliminate the gradual wear other motors experience. Along with a trio of shock absorbers, the ProfiEco motor also allows for extra-quiet performance. Miele is also the only manufacturer to use cast iron counterweights to avoid gradual damage or erosion – ensuring your appliance continuously delivers high performance through the years of stains to come.

How do Miele washing machines protect my fabrics?

When you buy a Miele washing machine online, you are purchasing from a brand that truly cares about your clothes. The exclusive honeycomb drum is the shining jewel of any Miele washer; the unique web-like structure creates a thin layer of water on the surface of the drum, which then acts as a gentle cushion as your laundry is spun. The smaller holes in the drum also help to prevent piling in cottons and laddering in delicate clothing, such as tights.
Specific programs are even available for less commonly washed textiles, those that you’re never quite sure are ‘washer safe’. Plump and soften both synthetic and down-based bedwear, remove dust and dirt from curtains and other thick textiles, take your washable trainers for a gentle spin without worrying about causing damage to the shoe or the appliance. Whatever you need, Miele has you covered.
Ready to find the integrated or freestanding washing machine that best suits your home? Browse the extensive Miele range or use the helpful buying guide available online. A redesigned drum, optimised programmes, numerous quality-of-life touches – solutions so indispensable you’ll wonder how anybody manages without.

Does this come with a manufacturer warranty or is it only sold as extra?

Yes. Go online after purchase for two years free of charge. BUT I think as the machine is destined to last for up to 20 YEARS, maybe a yearly extended warranty fee might be good to look at. This can be purchased anytime DURING the free two year period according to the Miele website.
