Water Softeners; Washing With Several Components - Miele WT 2789 i WPM Operating Instructions Manual

WASHING
All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable.
For users in Asia: please use a low
foaming detergent suitable for use in
front-loading machines.
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.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the manufac-
turer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment j of the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash.
See "Optional accessories" at the end
of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products, including
detergents and fabric conditioner.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
34
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on
soiling.
– The quantity of the laundry (add the
recommended amount of detergent).
– The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Use the same 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
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
