Gentle Action - Miele W 308 Operating Instructions Manual

Activating gentle action reduces the
drum action. Slightly soiled items are
washed more gently. It should be
activated 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.
