Favorit and Eddy
You are both an absolute wealth of information. Thank you so much for helping me. Now that you tell me what the "cold water main", "hot water", "soft water" etc. notations stand for, it makes perfect sense. The tech manual is pretty cryptic but I guess they don't need to write out every detail for their own internal use.
P.S. I am going to try the suds cool down thing and see if it makes my sheets and cloth napkins less wrinkly! Guess I will have to use the Normal or Wrinkle free cycle to do it. I haven't used those two much because they look so short that mentally I've been thinking how can the load get clean -- I've been washing almost exclusively on the custom settings option. I've also been resisting the high spin on most things because of the wrinkle factor... which I am now learning from you does not do me any favors in the rinsing clean department. You are really changing the way I use my Miele (for the better, of course!).
