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
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.
