Note:
If both dispensers are filled with
liquid detergent, only the dispenser that
was activated by choosing the i-DOS
button is used during the wash cycle.
i-DOS Setting the dosage
The basic dosage is the recommended
dosage for a typical load of household
laundry weighing 4.5 kg. The quantity of
detergent and care product actually
dispensed is calculated using the basic
dosage and the amount of laundry,
which is detected automatically.
The basic dosages for liquid detergent
and fabric softener are set at the
factory. You can individually adjust the
basic dosages for each dispenser.
Check whether the preset basic
dosages follow the manufacturer's
recommendations in terms of:
■
A 4.5 kg load
■
For liquid detergent – the
normal
degree of soiling and the relevant
water hardness
■
For fabric softener – the
medium
softness
Refer to the packaging label on your
liquid detergent/fabric softener or ask
the manufacturer directly for this
information.
Below is an example of detergent
dosages on a packaging label:
If necessary, adjust the basic dosages
to the recommended load for the liquid
detergent/care product you are using,
the water hardness and/or the degree
of soiling.
