Water softeners

i= Compartment soak/pre-wash. This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately.

j= Compartment main wash

p= Compartment fabric conditioner

Water is taken in through compartment

iin the pre-wash.

Water is taken in through compartment

jin the main wash. If the capacity of compartment j is insufficient for the amount of detergent needed for a COTTONS programme (e.g. in very hard water areas), the machine can be programmed so that water and deter- gent can also be taken into the main wash through compartment i , see "Programmable functions", "Activating compartment i".

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

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.

Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water soft- ener.

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

1.Detergent

2.Water softener

3.Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more efficiently.

Fabric conditioners, texturisers, liquid starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft and fluffy to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Texturisers are synthetic starch formula- tions and give body to items e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Starch gives body to items of washing.

^Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging.
