I have an AEG OV lavamat 6100 digitronic and can't find anythiong in the user guide to say if it is cold fill only but I suspect it's not as it has both red and blue flexible pipes connected. Can I just turn off the tap on the red pipe and let the machine use cold without causing any damage?

It's one I started out with and still feel could be quite relevant though after researching became convinced of <em>some</em> of the arguments. I don't think it saves <em>them</em> any money though, it just allows them to sell them cheaper in a fiercely competitive price-led market. As even Miele went over to cold fill, and they are a premium high cost high quality product it gives weight to the argument that there were some genuine advantages to cold fill. Miele do not cut corners like that and I don't believe they would reduce efficiency of their machines just to cut out a few components. Their machines can cost over £1000. If cold fill was just a gimmick to reduce costs by removing the valve and a couple of hoses I can't see Miele doing it. Hello Peter: A very concise judgement.
