G Add detergent.
The percentage amounts in the display
help you to add the correct percentage
amount of detergent recommended by
the detergent manufacturer.
If the display shows:
40 Add 40 percent ...
(slightly less than half)
50 Add 50 percent ...
(half)
60 Add 60 percent ...
(slightly more than half)
75 Add 75 percent ...
(three quarters)
100 Add 100 percent ...
. . . of the amount recommended by
the manufacturer.
Take the level of soiling and also the
water hardness into account. It is
important to dispense the correct
amount because . . .
. . . too much detergent results in:
–
Excessive foam, which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
–
High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
–
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
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i = Detergent for pre-wash
(if selecting a pre-wash add
1
/
4
of the total amount recom-
mended) This compartment is
also used for starch formula-
tions when starching separately.
j = Detergent for the main wash
including Soak.
§ = Fabric conditioner or liquid
starch.
See "Detergent" section for further
information.
