Gentle Action - Miele Softtronic W 418 Operating Instructions Manual

Programmable functions

Gentle action

Activating gentle action reduces the
drum action. Slightly soiled items are
washed more gently. It should be ac-
tivated for garments with a single bar
under the care label and for articles
which feel too hard after they have
been dried.
Gentle action can be used with the
COTTONS, Quick wash , Starch and
Mixed wash programmes.
If "Gentle action" is programmed into
the machine, every wash cycle in these
programmes will be carried out with
gentle action rhythm.
The washing machine is delivered with
"Gentle action" de-activated.
Follow steps A to G to programme

additional option buttons in combina-
tion with the programme selector.
