(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
dosing 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 dosing, cleaning
aids (e.g. stain remover) can be added
manually to compartment
v
u
, if
necessary.

Depending on the programme,
the selection (on/off) as well as the

selected for i-DOS
i
I
w
and i-DOS
w
are saved until they are changed, even
when the machine is switched off.
Topping up the detergent/ fabric
softener:
If, while intelligent dosing is selected,
the respective illuminated display
flashes and there is corresponding
information on the display panel, this
indicates that the minimum fill level has
not been reached. The content is
sufficient for approx. 3 washes.
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.
Base dosage
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.
