1. Arrange items of washing as usual.
2. Select a programme.
3. Load the washing machine
4. Select a stain type (depending on
the selected programme).
5. Start the programme.
The washing machine adjusts the average washing temperature, drum movement and soaking time to the specific type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle or intensive washing and long or short soaking ensure that the wash­programme sequence is specially adapted to each type of stain. This makes sure that stains are treated in the best possible way.

The treatment of two stains explained in the following example:

Blood
Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water, then the selected wash programme starts.
Egg
Egg particles are removed by soaking in the lukewarm water bath, selecting a wash cycle with a high water level and running additional rinse cycles.
Following intensive research, we have developed comparable solutions for other stains.

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 60
If required, adjust the basic dosage.

(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 ~ Page 32
49
en Intelligent dosing system
Base dosage

The basic dosages are:

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.

My water hardness:

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.

Changing the basic dosages:

checks the turbidity of the rinsing water (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent residue). The duration and the number of rinse cycles depend on the turbidity of the water.

Load sensor/display

The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine when the door is open. This is indicated by the bar filling on the display panel.
Note: In order for the load sensor to
fully determine the amount of laundry, the drum must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.
