Miele W 5964 WP - Manual (Page 42)

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.
See “Optional accessories” at the end of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.
