Miele W 2888 WPS, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 36 / 80

All modern detergents produced for
front loading automatic washing
machines are suitable, including liquid,
compact (concentrated), tablets and
special application detergents. Use
dispensing 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
biological 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.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
– The quantity of laundry (follow the
machine’s dispensing
recommendation and reduce the
amount of detergent with smaller
loads as indicated on the display)
– 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
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
Water softeners
A water softener such as Calgon can
be used to cut down on the use of
detergents in extremely hard water
areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
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
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover, e.g. Biotex
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
