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.
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).
To achieve optimum washing and
rinsing results, please set your basic
dosage depending on your detergent,
the water hardness in your area and the
fabric softener you use.
Notes
■
Reduce the basic dosage if using a
very concentrated detergent.
■
If large amounts of foam are
repeatedly created during washing,
please check your basic dosage and
dosage strength settings.
Certain types of liquid detergent can
also create excessive amounts of
foam. If your basic dosage and
dosage strength settings are correct,
we advise you to use a different
detergent.
Changing the basic dosages:
1.
Press the corresponding i-DOS
button (
w
or
i
) for approx. 3
seconds. The preset basic dosage
will appear in the display panel.
2.
Set the required basic dosage using
the
Finished in -
or
+
buttons.
3.
The setting is activated without
needing to be confirmed. You can
now wait for a short while or press
any button (except the i-DOS
buttons) to revert to the original
setting.
Note:
The settings are saved until
they are changed again, even if the
machine is switched off.
Manual dosage
For programmes that cannot be used
with intelligent dosage, or if you would
prefer to dose manually (in which case
set intelligent dosage to "off"
ö
), add
detergent to compartment
v
u
.
Cleaning aids such as water softener,
bleach and stain remover can be added
to this compartment in addition to the
intelligent dosage.
