Öko-Institut confirms that, comparedwithmanualmethods,Miele’s auto-
matic detergent dispersing results in detergent savings of
approximately 30%.
Consequently, the environmental impact relating to detergent supply is
reduced as follows:
•Greenhouse effect by 30% / 31%
• Cumulated energy requirements by 32% / 33%
• Total environmental burden by 29% / 30%
The potential toxicity towater organisms from effluents can be reduced
by 5%.
Explanation:When detergent is dosedmanually, too little consideration is
given to the actual load size and to the degree of laundry soiling. Therefore,
an automatic dispensing system,which is able to take these parameters
into account, produces better results.
The above-mentioned potential savings are based on the assumptions
made byÖko-Institut in 2008 for a research study commissioned by
Miele Cie. KG.

AutoDos - Automatic
detergent dispensing
With the AutoDos system
powder and liquid detergent are
dispensed automatically at the press of a
button. The system is extremely convenient
and clean and avoids detergent coming into
contact with skin. It is also very economical
as your washing machine only uses as much
detergent as is required to achieve optimum
results.
• Detergent savings of up to 30%
• Optimum fabric care
• Simple and clean dispensing
• Perfect wash results
Load size recognition and detergent
dispensing recommendation
Some Miele washing machines measure
the quantity of the laundry and take into
account the type of fabric being washed in
order to calculate the amount of detergent
required. The recommended percentage of
detergent will then appear in the display.
• Avoids over or underloading
• Appropriate amount of detergent dispensed
• Environmentally friendly washing
• Optimum washing results
