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 softener. Washing with several components If you wash using several components (e. g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order: 1. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more evenly. 29 Detergent Fabric conditioners and liquid starch Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying. Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e. g. Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme If starching frequently, the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon tube and conditioner channel will need regular cleaning to remove any residual starch. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Do not add powder starch formulations or viscous liquid starch to the § compartment as it will clog up. Adding fabric conditioner or starch separately ^ Dispense in accordance with manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. [. . . ] The machine is delivered with the memory function deactivated.
