The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
– 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 size of the load
– The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.

Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill
packs whenever possible. This helps
reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Water softeners
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 at
www.miele-shop.com.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Washing with several
components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment
j
in the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
