Features and buyer benefits
A practical overview of the features that matter most in daily use, including capacity, wash performance, efficiency, hygiene support, controls, drainage, dosing and connected laundry management.
Capacity
20kg load with a 180 litre drum
Large enough for demanding daily laundry routines, helping sites process more laundry per cycle without moving into the very largest washer range.
Cycle performance
58-minute cold-fill or 49-minute hot/cold 60°C cycle
Supports efficient daily turnaround, especially where a suitable hot water supply is available and the site needs predictable cycle times.
Lower consumption
144 litres and 1.40 kWh on hot/cold 60°C cycle
A warm water connection can reduce energy use on the 60°C cotton programme when compared with cold-fill operation.
Hygiene support
Disinfection rinse and temperature monitoring
Helps support controlled hygiene routines by monitoring wash temperature and providing a high-temperature final rinse where the programme requires it.
Extraction
950 rpm spin with 361 g-factor
Professional spin performance helps remove moisture from the load, reducing drying demand and improving the overall laundry process.
Controls
M Touch Pro colour touchscreen
Clear programme selection and display information help staff choose the right wash cycle and operate the machine with confidence.
Durability
Tested to 30,000 operating hours
Miele’s laboratory test figure supports confidence in demanding professional use, while still depending on correct use, servicing and care.
Load control
Automatic load control Plus
The machine adjusts key parameters to the load size, helping reduce unnecessary water and energy use on smaller loads.
Drainage
DN 70 professional dump valve
The dump valve provides rapid, reliable drainage and is suited to commercial laundry environments where flow and robustness matter.
Dosing ready
Up to 12 liquid dispenser pump connections
Supports controlled chemical dosing for sites that need consistent results, reduced manual handling and better detergent control.
Payment and energy
Optional payment and peak-load connections
Useful for communal laundry, self-service use or larger sites that want to integrate the machine into energy management arrangements.

LAN and WiFi for connected laundry management
Supports Miele MOVE where configured, giving compatible sites access to useful machine status, operating data and service information.
