Water softener
If your water is in class II or III, you can
add a water softener to help cut down
on the use of detergent. Consult the
package for dosing. First add the
detergent, then add the water softener.
In this case, you can dose the
detergent as you would for class I.
Washing with severalcomponents
If you are using several different
products in the wash (e.g., special
application detergents), Miele
recommends loading the products in
the following order into compartment
j:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener

This will help the products flow
smoothly into the wash drum.
