Detergent

The correct detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic 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.

Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer 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

of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment for the pre-wash.
