AUTO DOSING FUNCTION

The detergent dispenser of the washing machine is equipped with a two tanks system for the automatic dispensing of liquid detergent and softener.

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:

• 80 ml detergent for Tank 1

• 30 ml softener for Tank 2

You need to adjust these preset dosing values to the dosing values reported on the detergent and softener package that you intend to use.

After the Auto Dosing function is set for use, ll the tanks with the appropriate content and install the labels on the tanks accordingly, as explained in the USE AND CARE GUIDE / AUTO DOSING – FIRST USE.

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). Deactivate the buttons for Auto dosing (Tank 1 and Tank 2): press them so that the button light goes o.

3. Start the programme without adding any

laundry.
