Your washing machine has an intelligent dosing system for liquid detergent and fabric softener.

The i-DOS compartments ß and i in the detergent drawer are used for this purpose.







( Dispenser ß (1.3 l) for liquid

detergent

0 Dispenser i (0.5 l) for fabric

softener

8 Compartment v u for manual

dosing ~ Page 47

Depending on the selected programme and settings, the optimum quantity of detergent and/or fabric softener is dosed by the i-DOS dispensers.

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 57

■ 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.

Initial use/filling the dispensers

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions when choosing your detergent and fabric softener. We recommend the use of standard, universal and colour liquid detergents for all machine-washable, coloured fabrics made of cotton or synthetic materials.

4. Close the lid(s).

5. Slowly push the detergent drawer in

completely.

en Intelligent dosing system

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

goes out.

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.

In addition to intelligent dosage, cleaning aids (e.g. stain remover) can be added manually to compartment v u, if necessary. ~ Page 47

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 57

If required, adjust the basic dosage.

Basic settings

The basic dosages are:

(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 32 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 39

■ For detergents – based on the

manufacturer’s recommendation for average soiling and the respective water hardness.

■ F or fabric softeners – based on the

manufacturer's recommendation for a medium level of softness.

Refer to the packaging label on 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.

Intelligent dosing system en

My water hardness:

Below is an example of detergent dosages on a packaging label:

Degree of soiling → Water hardness ↓

soft/medium 55 ml 75 ml 120 ml 160 ml

hard/very hard 75 ml 95 ml 150 ml 180 ml

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).

Set the basic detergent dosage according to the detergent's packaging label. Take your water hardness into consideration when doing so.

Select the basic fabric softener dosage according to how soft you would like your laundry to be.

Changing one basic dosage affects all three dosage quantities in the same way.

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 quantity settings. Certain types of liquid detergent can also create excessive amounts of foam. If your basic dosage and dosage quantity settings are correct, we advise you to use a different detergent.
