Page 29

Detergent

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

–The quantity of laundry

–The soiling level of the laundry

Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.

Normally soiled

Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.

Heavily soiled

Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.

–The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water softener

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Miele branded water softening tablets are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.

Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water softener.

Washing with several components

If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment in the following order:

1.Detergent

2.Water softeners

3.Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more evenly.
