This AAA-energy rated, freestanding model has been launched to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Miele launching its first electrically powered dishwasher in 1929.  It has a capacity of 14 place settings and noise level of 44db. It also has a very low water consumption level of only 8 litres when using the Sensor Wash programme (although its usual water consumption is 10 litres). It is equipped with turbothermic drying which uses filtered air to ensure that the items inside come out completely dry, without drops of water.

This A-energy rated model offers an innovative SensorSteam Programme that operates via intelligent sensors monitoring solid levels in the water and adapting the washing cycle accordingly saving time, energy and water. The steam function is integrated within normal programmes, so where high solid levels are found, a steam injection helps to soften the soil on the dishes. Another unique feature of this integrated model is Visible Feedback.  A discreet light is projected on the kitchen floor, which provides the user with visible feedback when the machine is running.

This model, clad in finger-friendly stainless steel, is energy saving recommended by the Energy Saving Trust.  It features a host of benefits including Save+ (combining an alternative drying system with a more efficient washing cycle to obtain a 10% energy usage reduction), Quick Time (a technology combining higher temperatures with an intense mechanical spray action to save time and energy) and sensor programme Aquatest. The ‘AAA' rated machine is both eco-friendly and efficient boasting 12 place settings, 9 programmes and 5 temperatures.  Other features include Total Aquastop and an Orbital Spray System.
