This is an old Miele De Luxe 506 which is standing in the laundry room in my grandmas apartment.
This machine is still working.
It has 560rpm and 5kg capacity :D:D

Ant these are the controls with just one dial for programmes with integrated temperatures and one to see, what the machine is doing :D:D It has pre-wash, main wash, rinse and spin

6000 W internal heater !

the most amazing fact about this washer : it's a cold fill only machine, but it takes just five or six minutes to boil.

Gorgeous machine. Got to have a backsplash.

This is just like the first Miele I ever saw and used when I was a college student in Paris. They had a nifty little laundry room in our dorm, Maison Canada, at the Cite Universitaire. In it was this model(in French), coin operated with a new Miele extractor that you could use for free and a new Miele dryer that reverse-tumbled the clothes. It was on this machine that I first learned that hot meant HOT. Cooked all of the elastic in my briefs in that first wash, but they had never been whiter.

Noooooo, srrrrry. I can´s make any videos of this machine because I need a special coin to activate the elecricity and this machine has an big problem. It doesn´t have a drain pump. Just a vent which is out of order. So the water flows out...

Lovely machine, you`d certainly need four men & steel trusses to move this enamel beasty!! Can you do a 40d wash on this?? would that be by positioning the dial between 60d & 30d?? (Buntwasche Stark)

One came up on ebay here last year and there was a scramble for it!!! dont think any collector got...

no 40°C setting on these models

Hi Mike,

"stark" means "intensive". It doesn't affect temperature . The difference is in the cadence while heating . Boilwash and fast coloured 60°C while heating use the 6/9 cadence pattern, meaning 6 seconds of tumbling, then 9 sec pause, rev tumbling 6 sec, pause 9 sec ....

"Stark" programmes and "Buntwaesche 30°C" (non fast coloureds) use the 12/3 even while heating .

"Windeln" (diapers boilwash) uses the delicate 6/9 cadence during the whole cycle

You can check these and other features in the modern Thread# 24849 Cycles overviews .....or directly on the waschmaschinen-forum.de page where i found it (link).
It's about models 420/520 ... the previous "W" had still to come at those times

Note the prewash has high water level as rinses, while main wash has lower level to enhance tumbling action, to save energy and to avoid severe suds overflowing [Zerowatt had to learn this last point ;-)]

I take occasion to thank Kai (german forum founder) who shared all these interesting vintage manuals

waesche means wash. so

vorwaesche = prewash

hauptwaesche/klarwaesche = mainwash

spuelen = (to)rinse

schleudern = (to)spin

pumpen = (to) pump out

Koch = boil,cook

bunt = coloured

fein = fine,delicate

wolle = wool

zusatz-worwaesche = separate additional prewash

staerken = (to) starch

my fault

i wrote " it takes just five or six minutes to boil"
Actually the heater switches off @ 95°C/203°F

Only Constructa had a patented real boilwash and even Bauknecht, Siemens, Lepper/Matura and Zoppas used this very patent
