Miele NOVOTRONIC W 1986 - Manual (Page 14)

Only use high efficiency, low
sudsing laundry detergent formu-
lated for front loading washing ma-
chines.
For wool and wool blend fabrics use a
detergent formulated for wools.
Follow instructions on the detergent
packaging for the correct use and
amount of detergent. Please adjust the
amount of detergent if the load is
smaller or more or less soiled than nor-
mal.
Add detergent to compartment
j at
the beginning of each wash program.
Only add detergent (
1
/
4
total recom-
mended amount) to compartment
i if
the "Heavy soil" option was selected.
If you select the "Heavy soil" option and
you are using liquid detergent, insert
the liquid detergent insert into compart-
ment
j. This will prevent the deter-
gent for the main wash being used in
the first wash of the "Heavy soil" option.
Do not use chlorine bleach!
