Innovative programmes offering supreme user convenience

All Miele washing machines from the new generation are characterised by an easily surveyed and intuitive user interface. As a result, user interaction is even simpler, despite the fact that these models are capable of far more than their predecessors.

With the rotary selector on the right and a centred display, Miele is continuing to use typical signature features as well as adhering to the principle of programme selection working from right to left. The fascia appears uncluttered and arranged to reflect the sequence of selection steps: Switch the machine on, select a programme and possible options and start the programme. On the high-resolution TFT display with white characters on a black background, all settings and function are clearly legible. The main programmes and additional functions can be selected directly using switches or pushbuttons. Thanks to the new EasyOpen function, doors are simply pulled open and do not require any electrical connection.

A practical additional convenience feature, only available from Miele, is the new 'Mixed items' programme. Its use is recommended when individual items of laundry get forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life - not exactly an unknown occurrence! The feat accomplished by this new programme is to be able to wash a blend of mixed fabrics together in a single cycle. A total of 19 different garment types can be selected and combined. Such a wash cycle is able to take socks, denim and even a fleece jacket.

The new ProgrammeManager, too, allows programmes to be compiled to suit individual needs using these five options: 'Intensive' ensures good detergency (without extending the wash cycle), 'Eco' reduces energy consumption (whilst extending the cycle duration), 'Extra gentle' reduces mechanical action, 'Extra quiet' reduces sound emissions during the wash cycle and 'AllergoWash' makes for improved hygiene by extending the temperature holding time and ensuring the thorough removal of detergent residues.
