soiled items can be washed more
gently.
Gentle action can be activated for the
Cottons and the Minimum iron pro-
grammes.
Gentle action is deactivated as stand-
ard.
Temp. reduction
At high altitudes, water has a lower
boiling point. Miele recommends ac-
tivating the reduced temperature set-
ting at altitudes of 2000 m or above to
prevent water from boiling. The max-

even if a higher temperature is selec-
ted.
The reduced temperature setting is de-
activated as standard.
