Detergent Dispensing - Miele PW 6163 Operating Instructions Manual

Bleaching agents
Only use bleaching agents on textiles with
the x symbol on the wash care label.
Liquid bleaching agent may only be placed
in the compartment designated for it. 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 limescale removers 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 size of the load
– The water hardness level
– The soiling level of the load
The amount to dispense
Take the water hardness into account and
follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
