Anti-stain system

General information about stains

The Stains additional programme option for treating special
stains can be found via the Ö 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

ë blood

í egg

Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water, then the selected wash
programme starts.

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.

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

Intelligent Dosing System

Your washing machine features an intelligent dosing system for
liquid detergent and softener. Dispensers i-Dos ô (1.3 l) and
i-Dos iIô (0.5 l) in the detergent drawer are used for this. You
can select whether you want to use one liquid detergent and one
softener or two liquid detergents.

Depending on the selected programme and settings, the
optimum amounts of detergent/softener are dosed via the i-Dos
containers.

Switching on the appliance

The appliance has been preset at the factory for dosing a liquid
detergent and a fabric softener, identified by corresponding filling
lids:

Ø ß Standard/universal detergent
Ø M Softener only i-Dos MIô

Filling dispenser

1.

Open detergent drawer.

2.

Open fill cover.

32

3.

Pour detergent/softener. Fill dispenser maximum up to max
marking.

4.

Close fill cover.

5.

Slowly push in detergent drawer all the way.

When the appliance is switched on, the completely inserted
drawer is indicated by:

Ø Associated display is lit when intelligent dosage i-Dos ô /

i-Dos i ô is selected. ~ Page 33

Ø Display flashes once and goes out, if intelligent dosage is not

selected. ~ Page 33

When selecting your detergent and care product, follow the

²

instructions of the manufacturers. We recommend the use of
standard, universal and color liquid and gel-like detergents for all
machine-washable, coloured textiles made of cotton and
synthetic materials.

In daily use

²

Ø Use only self-flowing liquid products and gels which the

manufacturer recommends adding to a detergent drawer.

Ø Do not mix different liquid detergents. If changing the liquid

detergent (type, manufacturer, ...), empty the dispenser
completely. ~ Page 41

Ø Do not use any solvent-based, corrosive or gas-emitting

products (e.g. liquid beach).

Ø Do not mix detergent and softener.
Ø Do not use any superimposed or highly thickened products.
Ø To prevent product from drying, do not leave the fill cover

open for a long time.

Ø Illuminated displays on the drawer handle

– Display is lit if intelligent dosage is selected for the

dispenser. In the case of the combined container i ô
the indicator light is lit for the stored container content
(i for softener/ô for detergent). ~ Page 38

– Display flashes if the fill level for the container is below

the minimum when intelligent dosage has been selected.

– Display flashes briefly when drawer has been inserted

correctly.

Ø Selecting and deselecting intelligent dosage/adjusting

dosage strength
The intelligent dosage of detergent and softener is selected

in the factory for all permitted programmes. Refer to
~ Page 22 The dosage strength for detergent has been
preset to light (lightly soiled washing) and for softener to
medium (normally soft washing) and can be individually
changed for each programme. Refer to ~ Page 17

In addition to intelligent dosage, washing additives (e.g. stain
remover) can be added manually via dispenser À Á.

~ Page 36

The selection (on/off) of i-Dos MIô and i-Dos ô is retained for
each programme until the next change occurs, even if the
machine is switched off.

33

Ø Reloading detergent/softener

The flashing of the associated illuminated display when
intelligent dosage is selected and a corresponding message
on the display panel indicate that the level is below the
minimum. There are still enough contents for approx.
3 washes.

The same detergent or softener can be topped up at any
time. If the product/manufacturer is changed, we recommend
cleaning the dispensers beforehand. ~ Page 41 If required,
adjusting the basic dosage. ~ Page 34

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.

Ø If intensive foaming occurs repeatedly during washing, pleas

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 iIô dispenser contents.

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

Change dispenser content. ~ Page 38

– When the i-Dos iIô container content is switched from

²

softener to detergent, the basic dosage amount of detergent
for this container is set to the factory setting (75 ml) and the
dosage for this detergent is set to off in all permitted
programmes. Then select the detergent dosage (light, normal
or strong) via the i-Dos iIô button on the display panel.

~ Page 17

The i-Dos ô container is automatically deactivated if the
detergent dosage is activated for the i-Dos iIô container.

The settings are retained for this programme until the next
change.

– When the i-Dos iIô container content is switched to

softener, the basic dosage amount is set to factory setting
(36 ml) and the dosage is set to normal in all permitted
programmes.

– Switching over the container contents requires an additional

acknowledgement via the display panel.

Manual dosage

In the case of programmes in which intelligent dosage is not
possible or not requested (then set intelligent dosage to off),
detergent is added to detergent drawer À Á.

In addition to intelligent dosage of detergents - cleaning agents
such as water softener, bleach or stain remover can also be
dosed here.

1.

Pull out the detergent drawer.

2.

Dosing in dispenser À Á according to:
– Dosage recommendation on the display panel, e.g. for

Cottons:

Dosage: 70%
Please load laundry: max. 8kg

Depending on the amount of washing in the washing
machine, a dosing recommendation is indicated on the

display panel.
– Soiling.
– Water hardness (~ Page 34) or ask your water supply

company.
– Manufacturer’s instructions.

– When dosing all detergents, cleaning aids and cleaning

²

agents, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

– Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with

water. Prevents blockage of the overflow!

– If detergent is dosed manually, no additional detergent via

intelligent dosage (set intelligent dosage to off). It prevents
overdosage and foaming.

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.

To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum

²

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.

By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect the

²

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.
