Miele W 3985 Wps Operating Instructions

This machine has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Extra
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.Special features in the...

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
