Miele W 463, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 29 / 68

All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are suit-
able, including liquid, compact (con-
centrated), tablets and special applica-
tion detergents. Use dispensing aids,
e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the
detergent.
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!
Add detergent according to the amount
recommended on the packaging.
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
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
Water softeners
A water softener, such as Calgon can
be used to cut down on the use of de-
tergents 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
components
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 e.g. Biotex.
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
