Note:
The selection (on/off) and the
selected dosage strength for i-Dos
i
and i-Dos
ô
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.
