Miele W 487 WPS Operating Instructions Manual page 30

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. Tablets are suitable for full
loads but note that it may be impracti-
cal 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.
– The quantity of laundry (follow the
machine's dispensing recommenda-
tion and reduce the amount of deter-
gent 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.
30
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
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.
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.
