How to soak cottons in washing machine?
Hi everyone
We've just bought the above model washing machine, and I find the User Manual to be less than user friendly. We want to soak soiled cottons in the machine, but I can only see that the Cottons with pre-wash as being the only option. Is Meile's idea of pre-wash the same as Soak?

No dedicated soak cycle on the washing machine
- The problem
- The owner could not find a soak option for soiled cottons and asked whether the Cottons with pre-wash programme was the same as a soak function.
- Likely cause
- Based on the accepted reply, the machine is not described as having a separate soak cycle; it appears to offer only normal wash or pre-wash.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was that pre-wash is not the same as a proper soak cycle. Heavily soiled cottons should be soaked separately in a bucket, bath or other container before washing, rather than using the machine as a soak tub.
- Checks to try
- User checked the user manual and could only find a Cottons with pre-wash option.

Hi. As far as I'm aware front loading washing machines don't have a soak cycle, only prewash or wash. I think heavily soiled items should be soaked in a separate container not the washing machine. The main point being to avoid having heavily soiled stuff in the machine. If pre wash isn't useful I'd soak them in the bath or a bucket etc first.
