I Adding detergent
It is important to dispense the correct
amount, because. . .
. . . too little detergent results in:
–
Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
–
Greasy particles cling to the laundry.
–
Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam, which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– higher water consumption because
an extra rinse is automatically
activated
– A burden to the environment.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment j of the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash.
^
Pull out the detergent drawer and
place detergent in the compartments
as follows:
i = Pre-wash
(if selected, add
1
/
4
of the
total amount recommended for
the programme). This compart-
ment is also used for starch
formulations when starching
separately.
j = Main wash
including the Soak period if
selected
§ = Fabric conditioner or
liquid starch.
^
Close the detergent drawer.
See section on "Detergent" for further
information on detergent and the
amount to dispense.
J Press the START button
This starts the programme. The
maximum programme duration will then
show in the display.
