Add Detergent - Miele Softtronic W 418 Operating Instructions Manual

How to wash correctly
I Add detergent
It is important to dispense the correct
amount, because . . .
. . . too little results in the following:
– Laundry will not be properly clean
and will in time become grey and
hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.
– Limescale deposits on the heater el-
ements.
. . . too much results in the following:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– High water consumption (an addi-
tional rinse cycle will automatically
switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the manufac-
turer for programmes without a pre-
wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special con-
tainer from the Miele Spare Parts de-
partment which sits in the main wash
compartment j of the detergent dis-
penser drawer. Add liquid detergent to
this container for the main wash and to
compartment i for the pre-wash.

mended). This compartment is
also used for starch formula-
tions when starching separately.
j = Detergent for the main wash
including Soak
§

starch.
See section on "Detergent" for further
information on detergent and the
amount to dispense.
