Miele W 3831 WPS, Operating Instructions Manual

The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic Front loading washing machines
are suitable. 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 for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as
others, and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the
detergent packaging.
For programmes without pre-wash or time delay start, liquid detergent can either
be dispensed placing a ball shaped container (commonly provided by the
detergent manufacturer) straight onto the laundry load or alternatively dispensed
through the detergent dispenser drawer. For programmes with pre-wash or delay
start facility (where applicable), an additional liquid detergent dispenser insert
(Material number 5077370) is available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.
