do agree with Stefan Dex,me too never wash dark towels and underwear lower than 60°C. It is not question to be or not to be germophobe : that stuff like wet towels, sweated underwear and sport stuff are prone to stink. These nasty smells are actually the result of a bacterial proliferation...

almost vintage Miele here :) .... so "water plus" and FOUR rinses (even on minimum iron and delicates) are default. I rarely use minimum iron, as the cotton cycle has default cooldown and even interim spins pulse. The downside : I have to push the "without prewash" button everytime ... 20...

Cordes CW 3061 fascia --

That is a genuine CORDES Miele in 1986 purchased Cordes plants in Oelde. Since then commercial laundry appliances are made in Oelde, residential ones are made in Guetersloh. This is a Cordes washer http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miele

Jan-Erik, they look nice .... with all those Leds and displays (die passen mit Weichnachtzeit *LOL*)... but I still prefer that strong Lavamat Bella (or Clara ?) on the left :) What about that Bauknecht WaMa on the right side ? And what about the Studio ? Is it still working ? Gruesse Favorit

as many have already stated it is not a mystery that vintage Defy FL were outsourced from Sangiorgio works in La Spezia :) The same machines were sold in Malta badged as GALA Mattew, you'd worth to make a tour inside here:)

Overflow hose ? No, that hose is part of the steam/moisture condensing device, that's not an exclusive miele design but a common device on whatever euro frontloader Vintage euro frontloaders were very famous for their ... infamous smells (OK, I know many people here swear for those laundry...

you can't make just one bunch with all models ... BOL Gorenje washers ... are BOL machines BUT TOL Gorenje are actually better built, i.e. they weight as Mieles : http://www.gorenje.co.uk/laundry/washing_machines?c=161104 Not that a heavy washer is automatically a sturdy machine, hovever...

Lawrence, can't stop laughing :))) That dough made with instant yeast is a totally different beast from true bread dough, which is made with "live" beer yeast and rests for several hours to "grow" Also us here in Italy have "instant dough" flours available in stores, but the pizza they...

No need to say it's a nice couple :) What amazes me is the fact that on October 20 in Yorkshire trees still had green leaves .... has the world turned upside down ? *LOL* [http://www.automaticwasher.org/TD/JPEG/MODERN/2010/northernmary++10-20-2010-05-19-31.jpg ]

hi Eric, That can't be my machine ... here in EU we've 50 Hz, while northamerican models run on 60 Hz. I linked an old pic Sudmaster posted some year ago. To know which valve you have to replace : unplug the washer, remove the worktop/lid and follow the hot water pipe from outside towards...

Diomede, guarda un po' cosa c'è ad Alessandria !! A TRUE Hoover made in Merthyr Tydfil, NOT in Brugherio ;-) .... and it's a TWIN TUB !!!! http://www.subito.it/elettrodomestici/lavatrice-anni-50-alessandria-18408394.htm

Yes, "Spento" means (switched) off is the past participle of "spegnere", a verb that covers all of these cases: "to switch off" an appliance, "to turn off" a car, "to blow out" a candle, "to put out" a fire. This is one of the rare exceptions where italian is simpler than english. Thank you ...

Congrats Paolo ! You're a great director ! The video editing is excellent And the Superautomatica too .... Ignis today means "low cost whirlpool models" ... it's a shame, Mr Borghi is tumbling in his coffin ....

cylinder it has 3 real baffles ... most of current HA toploaders have just one fake, flat plastic baffle

inside I enjoy the fact it can run a short cycle **with** prewash. My parents Novotronic performs Short OR Prewash not both in the meanwhile ( that is useful for dusty but not stained loads)

control fascia push buttons from left to right - lid - half load (lower level rinses) - rinse hold (aka "spuelstopp") - short - without prewash - gentle cadence (from 12/3 to 8/7) cycles are (clockwise) : - boilwash/coloureds 95°-->> 30°C - regular permapress 60 -->> 30°C - delicate...
