Adding and dispensing chemical agents

Dispensing neutralising agent or rinsing agent
The container with the symbol on the lid can be used to dispense
either neutralising agent or rinsing agent.
Neutralising agent is programmed at the factory.
To change the agent, e.g. from neutralising agent to rinsing agent,
the controls for the cleaning machine must be reprogrammed by
the Miele Customer Service Department.
Neutralising agent
Neutralising agent (pH setting: acidic) neutralises any residues of
alkaline cleaning agents on the surface of the load.
The neutralising agent is dispensed in the Interim rinse programme
stage, after the main wash (see programme charts). For this, the
container must be filled.
Rinsing agent
The dispensing of rinsing agent is deactivated ex-works.
Please contact Miele Service if you wish to activate it.
If rinsing agent has been activated, neutralising agent will not be
dispensed in the Interim rinse phase of the programme.
Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and
leave marks on items, and to help items dry faster after they have
been washed.
Residues of rinsing agent remain on the surface of items after
they have dried.
It is important to check the suitability of the rinsing agent being
used.
Rinsing agent is automatically dispensed in the Final rinse phase. The
reservoir must be filled for this to occur.
