Miele W 906 Washer User Manual


 
What to do if . . . Cause . . . Remedy . . .
. . . lime deposits appear on
the drum surface:
Not enough detergent has been
used.
Use a descaling agent which
must be stated by the
manufacturer to be suitable
for use in washing machines.
Use the correct amount of
detergent to cope with the
water hardness
. . . grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry:
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.
Either add more detergent,
or use liquid detergent.
Before washing the next load
run a COTTONS 60°C
programme with liquid
detergent but without a load
to clean the machine.
. . . there are white residues
which look like powder deter-
gent on the washing:
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not
soluble in water. These have
ended up on the textiles.
Use detergents containing
no zeolites to re-wash the
load and in the future.
Liquid detergents usually
contain no zeolites.
Try and brush off the
residues with a soft brush.
. . . liquid detergent does not
give the desired result:
Liquid detergents do not usually
remove stains such as fruit
juice, tea, coffee, wine etc.
Use a general purpose
washing powder containing a
bleaching agent, (check first
with the care label).
Pour stain remover (salts)
into the dispenser drawer
compartment
j
Put the liquid detergent into a
dispenser ball.
Never put stain salts and
liquid detergent together in
the dispenser drawer.
. . . The pump makes strange
noises.
These noises occur at the end
of a pump sequence as a
normal part of the operation.
They are not a fault.
