(De)selecting intelligent dosage and
adjusting the dosage strength:
The intelligent dosages for detergent
and fabric softener are set at the factory
for programmes in which intelligent
dosage can be used.
Overview of programmes
The dosage strength has been preset to
low (lightly soiled laundry) for
detergent
w
and to medium (medium
level of softness) for fabric softener
i
. It
can be changed for each programme.
In addition to intelligent dosage,
cleaning aids (e.g. stain remover) can
be added manually to compartment
v
u
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 indicator light for the selected
intelligent dosage flashes, this means
that the amount of detergent or fabric
softener in the dispenser is below the
minimum fill level. The contents will last
for another three washes or so.
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.
■
For
fabric softeners
– based on the
manufacturer's recommendation for
a medium level of softness.
Refer to the packaging label of 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.
