Miele W3985WPS Washer User Manual


 
Add detergent
The percentage amounts in the display
will help you to add the correct
percentage amount of detergent
recommended by the manufacturer.
40% = Add slightly less than half
the amount recommended
50% = Add half the amount
recommended
60% = Add slightly more than half
the amount recommended
75% = Add three quarters of
the amount recommended
100% = the full amount of detergent
recommended
You also need to take the level of
soiling and water hardness into
account.
It is important to dispense the correct
amount, as...
. . . too little detergent results in:
Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
Greasy particles clinging to the
laundry.
Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
A burden to the environment.
