Measuring and adding 

detergent and care products

For the majority of programmes on your 

appliance, detergent and fabric softener 

are dosed automatically; it is a factory 

setting for these programmes and can 

be changed.
In addition to intelligent dosing, you can 

add cleaning aids (e.g. softener, bleach 

or stain remover) to the left-hand 

compartment , if necessary. 
For programmes without intelligent 

dosing, or as required (in which case, 

set intelligent dosing to "off"), detergent 

can be added manually to the left-hand 

compartment. 

Starting the programme

Touch the 

I

 button. The indicator lamp 

lights up and the programme starts.

During the programme, the current 

programme information is displayed:

Finish in time or, after the washing 

programme has started, the 

programme duration.

And the displays for the 

programme's progress light up 

~

 Page 10

Note:  

Foam detection

If the 

f

 symbol also lights up on the 

Touch-Display, the appliance has 

detected too much foam during the 

wash cycle and automatically activated 

additional rinse cycles to remove the 

foam.

Add less detergent to the next washing 

cycle with the same load.

If you want to lock the programme to 

prevent it from being adjusted 

inadvertently, you can select the  

childlock
