An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Liquid detergents do not
contain bleaching
agents. They do not
always remove fruit,
coffee and tea stains.
– Use a general purpose
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
– Add stain remover to the
compartment
j
.
– Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used.
The laundry was heavily
soiled with grease.
– Use more detergent or liquid
detergent.
– Before washing the next
load, run the
Maintenance
programme
with the Original
Miele dishwasher and
washing machine cleaner or
a universal detergent.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening
which are not soluble in
water. These have stuck
to fabrics.
– Try and brush off the
residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
– Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which doesn't
contain zeolites. Liquid
detergents usually contain no
zeolites.
– Use the
Dark garments
programme.
