M Touch Pro and M Touch Pro Plus
The M Touch Pro controls with full-colour touch display are simple to operate thanks to easy-to-understand symbols, language selection option, colour frame and show-me-how sequences. Depending on the model, parameters such as temperatures, holding times and running times for standard and special programmes can also be adjusted quickly and easily.

M Select
M Select for tumble dryers offers all programmes and functions for standard applications. They are selected quickly and directly using a rotary control and touch membrane, supported by control panels with international symbols. M Select is available in 3 versions: COP (coin-op time controls), TOP (time controls) and ROP (residual moisture controls).

Efficient washing and drying programmes

Hygiene programmes for all standard and special applications ensure thorough reprocessing and gentle care.

Special programmes
Spin speeds and holding times are precisely adjusted to the textile properties. For example, they facilitate chemo-thermal disinfection in the care sector or thorough cleaning of mops and cleaning cloths. Final rinse cycles and programmes for direct reprocessing ensure an additional guarantee of hygiene and immediate availability.

Programme packages
Precise, tailored programme packages with predefined running times, temperatures and holding times achieve excellent results with minimum consumption. Whether red wine or lubricant, towel or mop – Miele Benchmark machines ensure gentle reprocessing and precise drying for all textiles.

Intuitive programming tool
The new programming tool can be used to adjust pre-installed programmes to custom requirements quickly and easily – whether that’s adjusting the temperature or creating entirely new programmes and profiles.

Smart connectivity

New functions and platforms support digital laundry management and connection to customers’ own systems.

Intelligent connectivity
WiFi and Ethernet constitute standard features and facilitate connection to on-site systems or the new Miele MOVE platform. You can monitor performance and process data remotely using a smartphone, tablet or PC, reducing machine downtimes and enabling you to plan resources more effectively.

Miele MOVE
The new platform networks your machines and simplifies machine and data management, enabling you to read out performance data, visualise potential savings and optimise process cycles wherever you are. miele.de/mielemove

Connector Box
External peak load, payment and dispensing systems are easy to link via Plug&Play. The boxes support aspects such as flexible settings for exact dispensing volumes or simple connection to supply air and vented systems or external laundry systems.

Sustainable system solution

Short running times, durable commercial technology and low consumption optimise processes, reduce costs and protect the environment.

30,000 hours of continuous operation
Benchmark washing machines are built to last 30,000 operating hours at full capacity. The combination of robust materials, sensitive sensors and new systems for maximum smooth running is what makes Benchmark a long-lasting, reliable commercial solution.

20 % less water, 30 % less energy
The interplay of economical technologies, finely tuned programmes and particularly energy-efficient systems such as PerfectDry reduces the use of resources and thereby also costs. Thanks to the new heat pump, Benchmark tumble dryers even use approx. 60 % less energy than conventional models.

New sensors, optimised technology and OneFingerTouch enhance safety, streamline processes and increase the service life of the machines.

OneFingerTouch automatic door lock
With OneFingerTouch, the 415 mm door is easy to open and close with the tip of your finger. Fewer contact points reduce the risk of infection – and make loading and unloading easier. The system unlocks at the end of the programme, ensuring maximum user safety.

3D imbalance sensor
The new sensor scans the movements of the washing machine drum, evaluates performance data and adjusts spin speeds and weight distribution. The result: shorter running times, less residual moisture, smoother running, lower consumption – and an extended service life for all components.

Honeycomb drum 2.0
Drum ribs let water rain down on the load, wetting laundry faster, more uniformly and more efficiently. A thin film of water created on the honeycomb structure of the drum allows laundry to glide gently, ensuring it keeps its shape.

Optimised suspension system
The optimised suspension system is designed for maximum constant strain. Independently operating springs absorb shocks, minimise drum oscillations and guarantee whisper-quiet operation and long service life, in particular with partial and full loads and at maximum spin speeds.

Benchmark tumble dryers

Patented systems and a new heat pump ensure precision drying, short running times and low consumption.

New heat pump
The new heat-pump dryers operate at low process air temperatures in a closed circuit without any vent ducting. This ensures the gentle drying of all textiles – cutting energy consumption by approx. 60 % compared with similar conventional electrically heated dryers.

AirRecycling Flex
AirRecycling Flex uses residual heat for economical, fast drying, independent of operating conditions. The machine heats up faster and ensures uniform, precise drying at lower costs and with shorter running times.

PerfectDry
Limescale sensors continually measure the residual moisture and adjust the drying process precisely to the water hardness. The predefined residual moisture level and perfect degree of dryness are achieved precisely, avoiding under-drying or over-drying.

A variety of heating types
Gas, steam and hot water are simple to install with a single-phase connection for drum volumes up to 500 l. This means that all heating types – electric, gas, heat pump, steam and hot water – can be connected without the need for conversion work and are ready for use instantly.
