44 Energy efficiency Miele washing machines are ecological and consume only the amount of water and electricity needed. Miele washing machines boast up to a 5 star energy efficiency rating. German engineered and tested for the equivalent of 20 years’ average usage Miele carries out intensive endurance tests during the development phase in order to meet the highest quality standards. In this test the appliances are expected to wash for 10,000 hours. This involves running a mix of approximately 5,000 wash programmes. This corresponds to approx. 5 programmes per week with an average cycle time of 2 hours – over 20 years. Honeycomb drum The hexagonal sculptured structure of the Miele honeycomb drum allows a thin film of water to be created between the drum and the laundry. This results in laundry gliding gently and protects the fibres perfectly. The smaller, smoothly polished holes in the walls of the drum are also gentle on your textiles and prevent burling and laddering. Foreign objects such as paper clips no longer end up in the drain pump. Hot water Some Miele washing machines feature an additional connection for hot water. MultiLingua Your appliance can display information and tips in several languages to ensure that you understand everything. Simply select your preferred language from the language menu. A flag directs you. This enables you to find your way – even if a language has been selected which you do not understand. PowerWash The PowerWash system includes "Intensive Flow" and "QuickPowerWash". With Intensive Flow, the sophisticated suds cycle ensures the efficiency of the detergent is fully used and the wash performance considerably increased. With the QuickPowerWash programme your Miele washing machine achieves thorough cleanliness in less than 1 hour. ProfiEco Motor 4) Experience extraordinarily powerful motors in Miele washing machines. The ProfiEco motor from Miele is also economical and quiet. As the motor is electronically controlled, it does not require carbon brushes, which makes it maintenance-free for efficient and convenient washing for many years. Anti-flooding guarantee 1) Miele offers a guarantee on all water protection systems to protect your home – over a period of 20 years. You are covered by guarantee should damage occur as a result of a faulty water protection system 2) . Miele assumes the costs for all subsequent damages covered by the terms of the anti-flooding guarantee provided installation has been carried out correctly. Automatic load control All Miele washing machines feature intelligent automatic load recognition. This feature analyses the current load and uses no more water and electricity than is necessary for perfect wash and rinse results. CapDosing 3) Miele's portioned capsules are a convenient solution for processing laundry requiring special applications. They are simply placed into the fabric conditioner compartment and the appliance dispenses the contents automatically at the perfect point in time during the wash process. Choose from special detergents (Sport, Down, WoolCare and SilkCare), fabric conditioners (Aqua, Nature, Cocoon), as well as the Booster which deals with persistent soiling. Delay start and countdown indicator The Delay start feature allows you to determine when you want the next wash programme to start. This is of particular advantage if you want to use off-peak electricity or when you want a programme to finish when you, for example, come home from work. You can programme the start of a programme up to 24 hours in advance. The display also informs you of the time the current programme will finish. Drum lighting Many Miele washing machines feature LED drum lighting. The maintenance-free power LEDs illuminate the Miele SoftSteam honeycomb drum so perfectly that you can no longer overlook any laundry items during unloading. EcoFeedback Miele washing machines with the EcoFeedback function provide precise electricity and water consumption data to give you full control over costs. Before starting a programme, you can request the consumption forecast of a selected programme. Precise consumption data is provided after the programme has finished as consumption can vary depending on the load. Enamelled front Miele enamels the front panels of all washing machines, tumble dryers, and washer-dryers. The high-quality enamel is scratch-proof, acid and corrosion resistant, alkaline-resistant, impervious to acids, easy to clean, and colour-fast. This keeps machines looking as good as they did when first purchased. Glossary Miele washing machines
