All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are suit
-
able, including liquid, compact (con
-
centrated), tablets, liquid tablets and
special application detergents. Use dis
-
pensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are
supplied with the detergent. Tablets are
suitable for full loads but note that it
may be impractical to reduce tablets by
proportion to suit smaller loads!
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Silk should be washed using a liquid
detergent specifically designed for
washing woollens. Do not use biologi-
cal detergents on silk as the enzymes
may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.
^ Add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i = Detergent for pre-wash
(if selecting a pre-wash add
1
/
4
of the total amount recom-
mended). This compartment is
also used for starch formula-
tions when starching separately.
j = Detergent for the main wash
including Soak.
§ = Fabric conditioner or liquid
starch.
The right amount to dispense will de

pend on the following:
–
The quantity of laundry.
–
The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled

–
The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the water hard

ness level in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in ex-
tremely hard water areas. Dispense ac-
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Miele do not recommend connecting
the machine to a household water soft

Washing with several compo
-
nents
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the fol

lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
