CareCollection 75
This washing machine conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the washing machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its installation, safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This washing machine is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the care label.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the washing machine.
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Safety with children
Children 8 years and older may use, clean or maintain the washing machine without supervision only if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the machine unless they are constantly supervised.
The washing machine is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the controls.
For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at high temperatures Do not let children touch it.
Technical safety
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
▶ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
▶ Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage provided the following conditions have been met:
- the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the electricity supply.
- if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
Correct use
Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installation and connection"). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
▶ Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
▶ Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.
▶ Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can cause damage to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.
Accessories
▶ Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.
When delay start is being used, the programme duration will appear after the delay start time has elapsed.
During the first 8 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will appear in the display.
After the machine has started, the delay start time counts down. If the delay start time is more than 10 hours, it will count down by the hour. If it is less than 9 hours and 59 minutes it will count down minute by minute.
Once the delay start time has elapsed, the programme will begin and the estimated programme duration will appear in the display.
Settings
The Settings can be used to tailor machine to suit your personal preferences.
Optional programme packages
You can have additional programme packages (containing a number of individual programmes) loaded into your machine.
These have to be downloaded by a Miele service engineer.
The following programme packages can be downloaded into your machine if they were not supplied with your machine ex-works (depending on model):

This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.
■ Press the Ⓘ button.
If the washing machine is being switched on for the first time, the welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will appear in the display every time the washing machine is switched on until a programme lasting longer than 1 hour has been completed.
Setting the language
You will be asked to select the language you require for the display. It is possible to change the language at any time via the Settings.
deutsch
■ If the language shown is not the one you want, select the language you do want by turning the programme selector. Confirm your selection by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Reminder to remove transport bars
To avoid the risk of damage, the transport bars must be removed before the machine is used for the first time. See "Installation and connection" for instructions on how to do this.
■ After removing the transport bars (if this has not already been done by your fitter), press the Start/Stop button.
Running your first programme
Cottons 60°C will be selected automatically. Run this programme without any laundry and without detergent.
■ Open the stopcock.
■ Press the Start/Stop button.
■ At the end of the programme switch the machine off.
The washing machine is now ready for use.
Energy and water consumption
- Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load.
To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. - When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used. This may mean that the time left shown in the display is adjusted during the course of the wash programme.
- Use the Express 20 programme for small loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g 20^ ). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the washing machine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. The Hygiene Info message will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
- Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
- Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
- Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option (Short, Pre-wash and Soak)
Select:
- A wash programme together with the Short extra option for light soiling where there are no obvious marks.
- A wash programme without any extra options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining.
- A wash programme together with the Soak extra option for very heavily soiled laundry.
- The Pre-wash extra option for laundry with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust, sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.
Eco feedback
The Eco feedback button is used for calling up information about the machine's energy and water consumption.
The Eco feedback button must be held in to display this information.
Pressing the Eco feedback button gives two different types of information:
- Before and during the programme an estimate is shown.
-
At the end of the programme it shows actual water and energy consumption.
-

Brief instructions
The headings numbered 1, 2, 3, . . . show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.
① Sort the laundry

natural_image
Illustration of a person with wings and clothing, surrounded by flying objects (no text or symbols)■ Empty all pockets.
⚠️ Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
■ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
⚠️ If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine.
⚠ Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in or on this machine.
■ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
- Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag.
- Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.
- Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.
- Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label. (☒ symbol)
② Switch on the washing machine
The interior drum lighting will come on.
The drum lighting will go out automatically after five minutes. Press the Door button to switch the drum lighting back on again.
③ Load the drum
■ Press the Door button to open the drum door.

natural_image
Illustration of a person inside a circular device with a cross symbol, next to a camera lens (no text or symbols present)■ Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
■ Shut the door with a gentle swing.
Make sure that items do not get caught between the drum door and the seal.

8 Add detergent
It is important to dispense the correct amount, because...
... too little detergent results in:
- Laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.
- Greasy particles clinging to the laundry.
- Limescale deposits on the heater elements.
... too much detergent results in:
- Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
- Higher water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).
- A burden to the environment.

This machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load recognition. It takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate. This means that programme cycles and durations can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options which can be selected have not been taken into account.
The display shows the stage the programme has reached.
Special features in the programme sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of every programme, with the exception of the Woollens programme, the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
The door can be opened and laundry removed at any time during the anti-crease phase.
1) A second rinse is carried out when a temperature between 60^ C and 90^ C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60^ C is selected.
2) A third or fourth rinse is carried out if:
– there is too much foam in the drum
- a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected
- The spin speed has been deselected.
3) A third rinse is carried out if:
- The spin has been deselected.
4) In the Outerwear programme, laundry is only spun after the main wash.
5) Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is carried out before the wash process begins, to deflate down-filled items. Subsequent water intake for the main wash is through compartment ☐.
6) Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without detergent is carried out automatically to remove dust.

The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads, but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk! Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging.
See "Optional accessories" at the end of this booklet for details of Miele branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.

Washing with several components
If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment ⏚ in the following order:
- Detergent
- Water softeners
- Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed more evenly.
Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
Starch
Stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
Fabric conditioners
Make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Problem solving guide
| General problems | ||
| Problem Possible | cause Remedy | |
| The machine shakes during the spin cycle. | The machine feet are not level. | Level the machine (see "Installation and connection"). |
| The laundry has not been spun properly and is still wet. | The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin and reduced the spin speed automatically. | Include both large and small items in the load as this will give better distribution during spinning. |
| The pump makes strange noises. | This is not a fault.These noises occur at the end of a pump sequence as a normal part of the operation. | |
| Noises while steam is being generated. | This is not a fault.These noises occur when steam is being generated and when steam is being injected into the drum. | |
| Steam comes out of the detergent dispenser drawer while steam is being generated. | This is not a fault.Some steam may emerge from the detergent dispenser drawer, depending on the amount of laundry and the ambient temperature. | |
| Problem Possible | cause Remedy | |
| Large amounts of detergent residue remain in the detergent dispenser drawer. | The water pressure is too low. | - Clean the filter in the water inlet.- It may be useful to select the Water plus extra option. |
| Powder detergent used in conjunction with water softeners tends to become sticky. | In future, add washing powder into the dispenser drawer first, and then add the water softener. | |
| Fabric conditioner is not completely dispensed or too much water remains in the ⚙ compartment. | The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is clogged up. | Clean the siphon (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer"). |
| The display is in a different language. | A different language has been selected using the "Language ⚠" setting. | Set the language you want. The flag symbol will guide you. |
| When laundry is dry it feels hard to the touch. | Too vigorous wash action. | Programme in gentle action and more water. |
| Not enough detergent. | Increase detergent dose to prevent limescale build-up in laundry. | |
| No fabric conditioner used. | Use fabric conditioner in the last rinse. | |
| An unsatisfactory wash result | ||
| Problem Possible cause Remedy | ||
| Liquid detergent does not give the required result. | Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains. | - Use a general purpose detergent containing a bleaching agent.- Add stain removers into compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball.- Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in the dispenser drawer. |
| Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laundry. | Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry. | - Use more detergent.- Before the next wash, run the Maintenance programme using Miele machine cleaner or a universal powder detergent. |
| White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing. | The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. They have ended up on the laundry. | - Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once the laundry is dry.- Wash dark textiles using a detergent which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.- Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for dark coloured laundry. |
| The drum door will not open | |
| Possible cause Remedy | |
| The washing machine is not connected to the electricity supply and/or is not switched on. | Insert the plug in the socket and switch on and / or switch the machine on with the ➊ button. |
| The safety lock has been activated. | Deactivate the safety lock as described in "Changing the programme sequence - Safety lock". |
| Access via a code has been activated. | Deactivate the code as described in "Settings". |
| Power cut. | Open the drum door as described in the next section. |
| The door was not correctly engaged. | Press hard against the lock side of the drum door and then press the Door button. |
| There is still water in the drum and the machine is unable to drain. | Clean the drain filter and drain pump as described in the next section. |
| The door will not open after the Steam care programme has finished. | The Steam care programme has been started several times one after the other. The steam has caused the temperature in the drum to rise above 55°C and the door will not open to prevent the risk of burning. Wait a few minutes until the temperature in the drum has decreased. |
| For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened if the suds temperature is higher than 55°C. | |

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note:
■ The machine must be level and securely positioned.
■ To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
■ We recommend a plywood base (at least 59x52x3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.
⚠️ If the machine is installed on a raised plinth, it has to be secured against slippage during spin using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving and falling off the plinth.
Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
To manoeuvre the machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the machine as well as by the handle recesses at the front.
⚠ Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.

The machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place. Store them as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use. They must be re-fitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered.

■ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counternut 2 again using the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
All four counternuts must be firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment. Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving about.
The fitting of building-under kits* and stacking kits* must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.
Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run
If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the conversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential.
- A special building-under conversion kit* is required.
To ensure electrical safety, the washing machine lid must be replaced by the cover plate supplied with the conversion kit. - For installation under a work surface 900/910 mm from the floor, a raising kit* is required.
- Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in place.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.
All parts marked* are available from your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
Washer and Dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary.

The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
- The inlet hose is fitted with an additional electrical safety valve which works like an automatic stopcock and is housed in the inlet hose connection box.
- It is pressure tested to between 7,000 and 10,000 kPa.
- The inlet hose has a protective sleeve.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through this protective sleeve. A float switches off the safety valve, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing
- Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
- Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine taking in too much water. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches in and pumps the excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.
Connection to the water supply
The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.

text_image
Diagram illustrating a tool cutting through a pipe with scissors and falling debris, showing incorrect safety rules.The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
The machine should be connected to the mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 34 " thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first.
Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.
N.B. Using this hose renders the Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.
Connection to the drainage system
The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The drain hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted. Please contact the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
- Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following:
- Hook the hose over the edge and secure.
-
Make sure that the water can drain away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.
-
Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve.
-
Connected securely to a standpipe.
-
Connected securely to a floor gully.

Notes for test institutes:
* The test programme conforms to EN 60456 and the energy label with Directive 1061/2010.
Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given depending on water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, type and volume of load, fluctuations in the electricity supply and any extra options selected.
The consumption data displayed using the Eco feedback function may differ from the values shown above. The deviation relates to the manner in which data is captured on the machine. For example, water consumption is calculated according to how long the water inlet valve is opened for. Fluctuations in the water supply, or a water pressure under 170 kPa can cause values to differ.
