Indeed it's not the normal level - it's the high level that can be selected via the programming mode. Quote from the service manual: Max. water level Adjustment of the laundry process for soft water areas. Level III at rinse cycle. Video description: "This is the one of the rinses in my Miele W4840 Washer. I had a Miele Technician set the rinses to Water+. So many (if not all) newer front load washers do not use enough water to rinse, and clothes retain too much detergent and/or fabric softener. The water level during the rinses is about 2-3 inches up on the glass door. Before I had the rinses set to Water+...you could not even see a water level during the rinse cycles. Miele makes amazing appliances, and are built like tanks!!" Alex |

Hi Alex. So does the video tell you that this is the normal cycle with the adjustments made by the techician? |

Yes, only Euro-Mieles in Europe. Many manufacturers tried to sell their large-capacity washer over here in GER but they all failed. Bosch and LG sold 20 lbs. washers - but they have disappeared from their German websites a long time ago. They just don't seem to sell. And if you're looking for matching dryers - forget it. Samsung currently sells a super-capacity washer and so does Bauknecht (Whirlpool) - we'll see how well they do. It's a different story in other countries, though. Bosch UK still has the large washer online and Italy just got the Affinity. I wouldn't mind getting one of these large washers: we would just do laundry every other week instead of every week. But the rest of Germany seems to think differently, I guess. Interestingly, however, the manual for the 4800/4840 also mentions that there are country modes for Australia, Sweden and Europe - maybe there is hope? Alex |
