Dosing Aid - how to use it...

Your washingmachineis “intelligent”: it will calculate the recommendeddetergentquantityfor the selectedprogramme,depending on the soil level of your laundry and the size of your wash load. It will also adapt the programmeduration,water and energyconsumptionaccordingly.

1Load the laundry, close the door and select the desired programme.

2Select any options, change temperature and spin speed if you want, adjust the soil level and set a start delay, if desired.

3 Press the “Dosing Aid”

The washing machine detects the wash load while the display shows an animation; this will last approximately 10 seconds.

If you have selected prewash, the display will alternately show

the detergent amount for the prewash chamber (marked with

The recommended detergent

“I”) and for the main wash chamber (marked with “II”) of the

detergent dispenser:

5 Add the recommended detergent quantity to the detergent dispenser now.

6Press the “Start (Pause)” button again.

The washing machine calculates the programme time according to the identified wash load while the display shows an animation.

...and then the wash programme starts automatically.

Note that…

•you must set any options and the start delay BEFORE you press the “Start (Pause)” button for the first time (before step 4 ).

•the durations for programmes with small maximum loads (like Delicates, Wool, Handwash etc., see in separate programme chart) are not updated when you press the “Start (Pause)” button for the 2nd time (step 6 ).

•the programme duration can differ from the time which is indicated on the display after the wash load has been identified. It can be influenced also by factors like reduced inlet water temperature, which leads to a longer heating time. While the programme duration is newly calculated, the display shows an animation.

*• if you want to add more laundry after you have already pressed the “Start (Pause)” button for the first time (step 4 ), proceed as follows: press the “Reset/Drain” button for at least 2 seconds: the door will unlock after a while, and you can add the laundry.

Close the door and just press the “Start (Pause)” button again; the washing machine will repeat the load estimation and display the dosing value accordingly.

•if you load the drum with laundry which is already wet, do not use the full amount of detergent the "Dosing Aid" function recommends you, but only 2/3 of the recommended amount.
