Detergent Dispensing - Miele PW 6241 Operating Instructions Manual

How to wash correctly
Bleaching agents
Only use bleaching agents on textiles with
the x symbol on the wash care label.
Liquid bleaching agents may only be placed
in the compartment designated for them.
This is to ensure that the agent is added
automatically at the second rinse. Liquid
bleaching agents should only be used with
coloureds if the textile manufacturer's wash
care label states that the textile is colour fast
and suitable for bleaching.
A 3rd rinse cycle must be programmed in
if bleach is to be used (see Profitronic
programming manual).
,
Frequent use of chlorine increases the
risk of component damage.
Only use dyes, colour run, dye removers
and descaling agents which are specified
as being suitable for use in washing
machines. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Detergent dispensing

It is important to avoid adding too much
detergent as this causes excessive foam.
– Do not use detergents which create a lot
of foam.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions for use.
The right amount to dispense will depend on
the following:
– The amount of laundry
– The water hardness level
– The soiling level of the laundry
The amount to dispense
Take the water hardness into account and
follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.

IV very hard above 3.8 above 21
Check with your local water supplier if you
do not know the hardness level in your area.
Gas heated machines
On gas heated machines the suds solution
is pumped around the heater elements. This
additional agitation of the suds solution
creates foam. It is therefore important to use
a low-foaming detergent and not to use too
much detergent.
If over-foaming occurs use a reduced foam
detergent or call in a detergent application
specialist.
