The right amount to dispense will depend on the following: –The soiling level of the laundry Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains. Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains. Heavily soiled Stains and soiling clearly visible. –The water hardness level. Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area. – The quantity of the laundry (add the recommended amount of detergent). 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. 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 compartmentjin the following order: 1. Detergent 2. Water softeners 3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more evenly. WASHING 31
Fabric conditioners or 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. ^Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. 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, clean the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon tube and conditioner channel regularly. See Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer. Do not add starchformulations or viscous liquid starch to the§compartment as it will clog up. Adding fabric conditioner separately ^Add fabric conditioner to compartment§. ^Turn the programme selector to Further programmesand select the Starchprogramme. ^Press theStart/Stopbutton. Adding starch separately ^Prepare the starch solution in accordance with manufacturers instructions on the packaging. ^Add the starch to compartmenti. ^Turn the programme selector to Further programmesand select the Starchprogramme. ^Press theStart/Stopbutton. Colour run and dye removers / dyes ^ Do not use colour 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. WASHING 32
Separate drying The separate drying programme must be used if the load in the wash programme is greater than the maximum load permitted for drying, or if you only want to dry part of the load that was washed. ^Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. qDry at normal temperature rDry at a low temperature (select theLow temperatureextra option) sDo not tumble dry If there is no symbol, dry at your own risk applying the following principles: – Cottons and minimum iron items should be dried using the appropriate programme. – Delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics, should be dried at a low temperature (select theLow temperatureextra option). Tips on drying Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly after washing using the appropriate spin speed. – Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can be partially dried using theWoollensprogramme.–Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothingprogramme. –Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise tend to roughen. They can be partially dried using the Smoothingprogramme. –Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality.Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account. – Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used. – Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton shirts or blouses tend to crease more, the larger the load. This is particulary the case with delicate fabrics. If in doubt, reduce the load or use theShirtsprogramme. – New dark coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa. DRYING 33

DLoad the drum ^Open the drum door. ^Load the laundry loosely into the drum. Do not overload the drum. See the Programme chart in the Drying section for recommended loads for each programme. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result. EClose the drum door Make sure you have removed any detergent dispensing aids, e.g. plastic dispenser balls, before drying. These dispensers can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry. Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal. The stopcock must be open even if you are only using the machine for drying. FStart the programme ^ Press the flashingStart/Stopbutton. The estimated programme duration will appear in the display. The electronics continually assess the residual moisture content of the laundry and adjust the estimated time remaining for a more accurate reading. Because of this the time displayed can alter during the course of a programme. The time remaining will count down in one minute steps. The programme sequence andthe drying level reached will also be shown in the display. The drum lighting switches off once the programme has started. GRemove the laundry when the programme has finished In the anti-crease phase after the programme has finished, the following will appear alternately in the display: Anti-crease and i Programme finished. Remove laundry, then switch the machine off. ^Turn the programme selector to the Stopposition. ^Open the drum door. ^Remove the laundry. Check that all items have been removed from the drum. If items are left in the dryer, they could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is next used. Important:Always remove the laundry before switching the machine off. This is important to ensure that the load size indicator works correctly the next time the machine is used. ^ Switch the machine off. See After each washing or drying programme for further information. DRYING 35
Extra option Low temperature The temperature is reduced during the drying programme. For all delicate or minimum iron fabrics with thersymbol on the care label (e.g. acrylic garments). With the exception of theExpress programme, the thermospin is not carried out when theLow temperature extra option has been selected. Because the temperature is reduced when theLow temperatureextra option has been selected, the programme duration is longer. TheLow temperatureextra only applies to drying. Thermospin To save energy a thermospin is carried out before the drying process begins in theCottons,Minimum iron,Express, Automatic,Dark garments,Shirts, Denim,Sportswear, andOuterwear programmes. Exception : If theLow temperatureextra option has been selected, the thermospin willonlybe carried out in theExpressprogramme.

Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started ^Press theDoorbutton to open the drum door. ,Do not touch the metal cap located on the inside of the door glass or the back of the drum when adding or removing items. They could be very hot -Danger of burning. ^Add or remove items as required. ^Close the drum door. The programme will continue automatically.
