All settings which you do during the initial set-up can be changed again later, if needed..

To remove any residues from the manufacturing process:

1. Select programme “Cotton” with temperature 95°C..

2. Add a small amount of detergent to the manual dosing compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled laundry)..

Before using this function, follow the instructions in the USE AND CARE GUIDE/AUTO DOSING – FIRST USE to:

1.Set the correct water hardness level

2.Set tank 2 content. By default, Tank 1 is set for a detergent (your main detergent), and Tank 2 is set for fabric softener.. If you do not use fabric softener, set Tank 2 for another detergent..

3.Check/adjust the preset dosing quantities.

By default, the system comes with the following dosing values:
