Add detergent.
The percentage amounts in the display
help you to add the correct percentage
amount of detergent recommended by
the detergent manufacturer.
If the display shows:
40
Add 40 percent . . .
(slightly less than half)
50
Add 50 percent . . .
(half)
60
Add 60 percent . . .
(slightly more than half)
75
Add 75 percent . . .
(three quarters)
100
Add 100 percent . . .
. . . of the amount recommended by
the manufacturer.
Take the level of soiling and also the
water hardness into account. It is
important to dispense the correct
amount because . . .
. . . too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam, which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment
j
of the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment
i
for the pre-wash.
^
Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i
= Detergent for pre-wash
(if selecting a pre-wash add
1
/
4
of the total amount recom-
mended) This compartment is
also used for starch formula-
tions when starching separately.
j
= Detergent for the main wash
including Soak.
§
= Fabric conditioner or liquid
starch.
See "Detergent" section for further
information.
