General information about stains

The Stains additional programme option for treating special
stains can be found via the Options button.

A total of 16 different stains can be selected. The washing
machine adjusts the washing temperature, drum movement and
soaking time specific to the type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle
or intensive washing control and long or short soaking provide
the wash programme with a special sequence for each type of
stain. The result: stains are treated optimally.

The treatment of two stains explained in the following
example

For the other stains we have developed comparable solutions in
intensive studies.

Standard settings

Ø If required, change basic dosages for detergent and softener:

The basic dosage amount to be set corresponds:
For detergents – to the manufacturer’s recommendation for

normal soiling and to the particular water hardness.
For softeners – to the manufacturer’s recommendation for

medium softness and to the particular water hardness.
This information can be found on the package label of the

detergent/softener or ask the manufacturer directly.
To determine the existing water hardness, use a test strip or

check with your water utility company.
My water hardness:

Here is an example of the detergent dosage on a package
label:

²

– Factory setting of the basic dosage: for detergent 75 ml and

for softener 36 ml.

– In the case of more concentrated detergents reduce the

basic dosage amount.

Ø If intensive foaming occurs repeatedly during washing, please

check the basic dosage setting and dosage strength.
Furthermore, some liquid detergents may have a tendency to

excessive foaming. If the basic dosage settings and dosage
strengths are correct, it is recommended to use a different
liquid detergent.

Change basic dosage amount. ~ Page 38

Ø If required, convert i-DOS i/w dispenser contents.

Instead of softener, a second liquid detergent can also be
used in dispenser i-DOS

i/w.

Change dispenser content. ~ Page 38

Load adjust

Depending on the type of textile and load, the load adjust
optimally adjusts the water consumption in each programme.

Aqua-Sensor

During the wash and rinse cycles the Aqua sensor checks the
degree of turbidity (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent
residue) of the washing and rinsing water. The duration and
number of rinse cycles are specified depending on the water
turbidity and, if required, an additional amount of detergent is
dosed in the automatic programmes.

Load sensor/Load display

The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine
when the door is open. This is indicated by a progressing bar on
the display panel.

²

To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum
must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.

Dosing recommendation

The dosing recommendation indicates a recommended
detergent dosage as a %, depending on the selected programme
and the detected load. The indicated % refers to the
recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.

²

By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect the
environment and reduce your household costs.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the
laundry several times to ensure even distribution.

For reasons of safety the speed is reduced or does not perform
a spin cycle if the washing is very unevenly distributed.
