maximum amount of laundry for the
relevant programme.
Overview of programmes

~ Page 16

■ Wash normally soiled laundry

without a prewash.

■ Save energy and detergent when

washing lightly and normally soiled
laundry. ~ Page 15

■ Using theintelligent dosing system

(i-DOS) to dose your detergent helps
you to save detergent and use less
water.

■ The selectable temperatures apply

to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.

■ Information on energy and water

consumption: ~ Page 12
The displays provide information
about the relative level of energy and
water consumption in the selected
programmes.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the programme's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the
consumption levels of the different
programmes when choosing your
programme settings and decide on
an energy- and water-saving
programme setting.

■ Energy-saving mode: The display

panel lighting goes out after a few
minutes and the A button flashes.
Press any button to activate the
lighting.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
if a programme is running.

■ Automatic switch off: If the

appliance is not operated for a
prolonged period, it may
automatically switch off before the
programme starts and when the
programme has ended to save
energy. Press the main switch again
to switch on the appliance.
Switching the ~ Page 32 function

Notes

■ Only use easy-pour liquid products

that the manufacturer recommends
adding to the detergent drawer.

■ Do not mix different liquid

detergents. If changing your liquid
detergent (type, manufacturer, etc.),
empty the dispenser completely and
clean it. ~ Page 34

■ Do not use products containing

solvents, caustic agents or volatile
substances (e.g. bleach).

■ Do not mix detergent and fabric

softener.

■ Do not use products that have

expired or are highly congealed.

■ To prevent drying out, do not leave

the dispenser lids open for a long
period of time.

Filling the dispensers:

The lids of the dispensers in the
detergent drawer are marked with the
following symbols:

■ ß Standard/universal detergent

■ i Fabric softener

1. Open the detergent drawer.

2. Open the dispenser lid(s).

3. Add detergent and/or fabric

softener. Do not fill above the max.
marking.

4. Close the lid(s).

5. Slowly push the detergent drawer in

completely.

When the appliance is switched on, the
fact that the detergent drawer is closed
completely is indicated by the following:

■ If intelligent dosagei-DOS w or

i-DOS i has been selected, the
corresponding indicator lights up.

■ If intelligent dosage has not been

selected, the indicator flashes once
and then goes out.

■ The ù symbol in the display panel

Everyday use

Indicator lights in the display panel:

■ The display lights up if intelligent

dosage has been selected for the
dispenser.

■ The display flashes if the fill level of

the selected intelligent dosing
dispenser is below the minimum
level.

(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
dosage can be used.

Overview of programmes ~ Page 16
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.

~ Page 23

In addition to intelligent dosage,
cleaning aids (e.g. stain remover) can
be added manually to compartment
v u, if necessary. ~ Page 31

en Intelligent dosing system

30

Note: The selection (on/off) and the

selected dosage strength for i-DOS i
and i-DOS w 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.

~ Page 34

If required, adjust the basic dosage.

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.

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.

:Warning

Eye/skin irritation!

Detergent and care products may spray
out if the detergent drawer is opened
while the machine is in operation.
Open the drawer carefully.
Rinse eyes or skin thoroughly if they
come into contact with detergent/care
products.
