Program selector

For selecting programs and for switch-

chine is switched on when you select a
program, and switched off by turning
the program selector to the



 position.

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 us-

ing liquid detergents can cause bacteria
and odors to build up in the washing ma-
chine. Miele therefore recommends
cleaning the washing machine once ev-
ery month.

When the



 indicator light lights up on

the control field and



appears on the

time display, the washing machine must
be cleaned.

supplied.

Options

Options are selected and deselected us-
ing the relevant sensor buttons in the con-
trol field.

Heavy soiled

For laundry that is very heavily soiled. The
extended wash duration enhances the
stain-removing effect.

Lightly soiled

For slightly soiled fabrics that are not
stained. The wash duration is reduced.

SoftSteam

In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the program. Reducing the maxi-
mum load by 50% will give a better result.
Please note the load information in the
display. Small loads achieve a better re-
sult.
