Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine from
damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are
selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are
disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain harmful substances which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to
human health and to the environment if disposed of with general
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of
your old appliance with general waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection /
recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. Consult with
Miele if necessary.
Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children
while being stored awaiting disposal.
Energy saving tips
- To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full
load is washed.
- Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
- Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads.
Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme
will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.
