Water Softeners; Fabric Conditioners, Texturizers, Liquid Starch - Miele W 827 Operating Instructions Manual

i = Compartment soak/pre-wash.
This compartment is also used
for starch formulations when
starching separately.
j = Compartment main wash
p = Compartment fabric conditioner
Water is taken in through compartment
i in the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment
j in the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed for a
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very
hard water areas), the machine can be
programmed so that water and deter-
gent can also be taken into the main
wash through compartment i , see
"Programmable functions", "Activating
compartment i".

A water softener such as Calgon can
be used to cut down on the use of de-
tergents in extremely hard water areas.
Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging. First add
detergent and then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Miele do not recommend connecting
the machine to a household water soft-
ener.
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the fol-
lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,
tablecloths and bed linen.
Starch gives body to items of washing.
^ Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
