Note:
The selection (on/off) and the
selected dosage strength for i-DOS
i
and i-DOS
w
are saved for each
programme until they are changed
again, even if the washing machine is
switched off.
Topping up the detergent/ fabric
softener:
If the display for the selected intelligent
dosing flashes, this means that the
amount of detergent or fabric softener in
the dispenser is below the minimum fill
level. The content is sufficient for
approx. three washes.
The same detergent or fabric softener
can be added at any time. If you change
product/manufacturer, we recommend
that you clean the dispensers first.
If required, adjust the basic dosage.
Basic settings
The basic dosages are:
■
For detergents
– based on the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
average soiling and the respective
water hardness.
■
F or fabric softeners
– based on the
manufacturer's recommendation for
a medium level of softness.
Refer to the packaging label on your
detergent/fabric softener or ask the
manufacturer directly for this
information.
To find out the hardness of your water
supply, use a test strip or check with
your water supplier.
My water hardness:
Below is an example of detergent
dosages on a packaging label:
The default setting for the basic dosage
is set specifically according to the area
in which you live (e.g. 75 ml for
detergent and 36 ml for fabric softener).
Set the basic detergent dosage
according to the detergent's packaging
label. Take your water hardness into
consideration when doing so.
Select the basic fabric softener dosage
according to how soft you would like
your laundry to be.
Changing one basic dosage affects all
three dosage quantities in the same
way.
