    Programme sequence
    23
     
    						
    							This machine has fully electronic
    controls with automatic load
    recognition. It takes in the right amount
    of water required for the programme
    depending on the amount of laundry
    and its absorbency rate. This means
    that programme cycles and durations
    can vary.
    The programme sequences outlined in
    the chart are based on the basic
    programme with a full load. Extra
    options which can be selected have not
    been taken into account.
    The display shows the stage the
    programme has reached.Special features in the programme
    sequences:
    Anti-crease:
    At the end of every programme, with
    the exception of theWoollens
    programme, the drum continues to turn
    at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help
    prevent creasing. The door can be
    opened and laundry removed at any
    time during the anti-crease phase.
    1)A second rinse is carried out when a
    temperature of 60°C to 95°C has
    been selected. A third rinse is
    carried out when a temperature
    below 60°C is selected.
    A third/fourth rinse is carried out if:
    – there is too much foam in the drum
    – a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has
    been selected
    –Nohas been selected
    2)A third rinse takes place
    automatically if:
    Nohas been selected
    3)In theOuterwearprogramme,
    laundry is only spun after the main
    wash.

    Please note:
    Once a programme has started the
    machine cannot recognise any
    adjustment to the load.
    For this reason, if laundry is added or
    removed after the start of a programme,
    the machine will always complete the
    programme cycle assuming a full load
    which can lead to an increase in the
    programme duration shown in the
    display.
    The door cannot be opened, if:
    –
    the suds temperature is above55°C.
    –
    the water is above a certain level.

    the programme has reached the
    Final spinstage.
    If you press theDoorbutton when the

    							The correct detergent
    All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.
    Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets
    are suitable for full loads, but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for
    smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be
    suitable for programmes with short durations. Do not use biological detergents on
    silk, as the enzymes may damage the silk. Instructions for use and recommended
    dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging.
    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
    of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for
    the main wash and to compartmentfor the pre-wash.

    							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
    www.miele-shop.com.
    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 compartmentin the
    following order:
    1. Detergent
    2. Water softeners
    3. Stain remover
    This way the agents are distributed
    more evenly.

    							Fabric conditioners and liquid
    starch
    Fabric conditioners
    make garments soft to handle and help
    prevent static cling when tumble
    drying.
    Starch
    stiffens and gives body to items of
    laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
    linen.
    Automatic dispensing of fabric
    conditioner or liquid starch to
    laundry at the end of a programme
    
    Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
    starch to compartment.Do not
    exceed the maximum level mark.
    It will be automatically dispensed in the
    last rinse. At the end of the programme
    a small amount of water remains in the
    fabric conditioner compartment.
    If starching frequently, thoroughly
    clean the dispenser compartment,
    especially the siphon tube and the
    fabric conditioner channel, regularly.
    See Cleaning the detergent
    dispenser drawer. Do not use
    powder starch formulations or
    viscous liquid starch in the
    compartment as it will clog up.
    Colour run and dye removers /
    dyes
    Do not usecolour run or dye
    removers in this machine.
    Dyes suitable for use in domestic
    washing machines can be used.
    However, please note that the salt
    used in the dyeing process can
    cause corrosion to stainless steel
    components in the machine if you
    dye frequently. Always observe the
    manufacturers instructions carefully.
