Environmentally Friendly Washing And Drying - Miele WTR 860 WPM Operating Instructions Manual

Environmentally friendly washing and drying

Energy and water consumption
- Use the maximum load size for the
current programme. The energy and
water consumption will then be the
lowest in relation to the size of the
load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water con-
sumption generally have a longer pro-
gramme running time. By extending
the programme running time, the
wash temperature that is actually
reached can be reduced while still
providing the same wash results.
For example, the
ECO 40-60 programme has a longer
running time than the
programme. The
60 °C
programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
- Use the Express 20
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20 °C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash
(above 60 °C) at regular intervals. The
message Hygiene info: Select "Mainten-
ance" and run the "Clean machine" pro-
gramme. will appear in the display of
the washer-dryer to remind you to
carry out a hot wash.
