To find out the hardness of your water
supply, use a test strip or check with
your water supplier.
The default setting for the basic dosage
is set specifically according to the area
in which you live (e.g. 75 ml for
detergent and 36 ml for fabric softener).
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:
1.
Press the corresponding i-DOS
button (
w
or
i
) for approx. 3
seconds. The preset basic dosage
will appear in the display panel.
2.
Set the required basic dosage using
the
Finished in -
or
+
buttons.
3.
The setting is activated without
needing to be confirmed. You can
now wait for a short while or press
any button (except the i-DOS
buttons) to revert to the original
setting.
Note:
The settings are saved until
they are changed again, even if the
machine is switched off.
Manual dosage
For programmes that cannot be used
with intelligent dosage, or if you would
prefer to dose manually (in which case
set intelligent dosage to "off"
ö
), add
detergent to compartment
v
u
.
Cleaning aids such as water softener,
bleach and stain remover can be added
to this compartment in addition to the
intelligent dosage.

Warning
Eye/skin irritation!
Detergent and care products may spray
out if the detergent drawer is opened
while the machine is in operation.
Open the drawer carefully.
Rinse eyes or skin thoroughly if they
come into contact with detergent/care
products.
If swallowed accidentally, seek medical
advice.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for
pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers,
prewash sprays, etc.) may cause
damage if they come into contact with
the surfaces of the washing machine.
Do not allow these agents to come into
contact with the surfaces of the washing
machine. If necessary, immediately wipe
away spray residue and other residues/
droplets with a damp cloth.
Notes
■
When dosing all detergents,
cleaning aids and cleaning agents,
always follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
■
If dosing detergent manually, do not
add additional detergent to the
intelligent dosage dispenser (set
intelligent dosage to "off"
ö
). This will
prevent overdosing and foaming.
■
Dilute viscous fabric softener and
fabric conditioner with water to
prevent blockages.
