3.
Start the programme.
The drum rotates and, depending on
the programme selected, load
detection takes place (takes up to 2
minutes). Depending on the load
detected, the required quantities of
detergent and fabric softener (in the
last wash cycle) are then dosed,
which can be detected by a pump
noise.
Automatic dosing can be activated or
deactivated for each of the designated
wash programmes separately.
Automatic dosing can also be activated
or deactivated once the programme has
started, although this depends on which
stage the programme is in.
To activate/deactivate automatic
dosing, press
Ž
i-DOS briefly. The
setting is saved until the next time it is
changed.
Tip:
In addition to automatic dosing,
you can also add further laundry care
products such as stain remover, starch,
softener or bleach to the manual dosing
compartment. To prevent overdosing or
foam build-up, do not add more
detergent to the manual dosing
compartment.

To protect your laundry, automatic
dosing can only be used with certain
programmes.

i-DOS Setting the dosage
The basic dosage is the recommended
dosage for a typical load of household
laundry weighing 4.5 kg. The quantity of
detergent and care product actually
dispensed is calculated using the basic
dosage and the amount of laundry,
which is detected automatically.
The basic dosages for liquid detergent
and fabric softener are set at the
factory. You can individually adjust the
basic dosages for each dispenser.
Check whether the preset basic
dosages follow the manufacturer's
recommendations in terms of:
■
A 4.5 kg load
■
For liquid detergent – the
normal
degree of soiling and the relevant
water hardness
■
For fabric softener – the
medium
softness
Refer to the packaging label on your
liquid detergent/fabric softener or ask
the manufacturer directly for this
information.
Below is an example of detergent
dosages on a packaging label:
If necessary, adjust the basic dosages
to the recommended load for the liquid
detergent/care product you are using,
the water hardness and/or the degree
of soiling.
