The Miele is home

Henrik, question for you

Do you have a dispenser for LCB on your Miele? Both of mine (1918 and 1986) do not. I do know that the 110 volt machines made for the US market do allow for LCB and have a dispenser for it.

If you don't have a dispenser, do you add it via the soap compartments or into the tub itself?

Regards,

Alan

We had a W961 until a few years ago.

There was no dispenser. Either it was used seperatly during the prewash or if incorporated in the main wash, I added it via the drawer and flushed it with a bit of water, but only after the detergent was flushed in.

One more question for the European Miele experts. I think "spulstop" means "rinse stop", but I'm wondering what this button does:

Rinse hold? My 1986 has a fine rinse button which is just a rinse cycle.

Rinse hold

As I wrote above: All interim spins should occur, but before the final spin, the machine stops with the rinse water still in the drum.

Now I get it.

Thanks, Henrik, I read that but didn't understand it at first. And it makes sense for washing stuff like a plastic shower curtain that won't be happy with a final spin.

For shower curtains, no spin would be better, as it cancels all spins, including the spins between rinses.

Its better if you have crease sensitive laundry that you can't get out of the machine right away or if a cycle is limited to a lower spin speed but you like a fast spin speed anyway.
I use it for synthetic curtains or shirts.
