Automatic dosing can also be activated
or deactivated once the programme has
started, although this depends on which
stage the programme is in.
To activate/deactivate automatic
dosing, press i-DOS Ž briefly. The
setting is saved until the next time it is
changed.
Tip: In addition to automatic dosing,
you can also add further laundry care
products such as stain remover, starch,
softener or bleach to the manual dosing
compartment. To prevent overdosing or
foam build-up, do not add more
detergent to the manual dosing
compartment.
Notes
■ To protect your laundry, automatic
dosing can only be used with certain
programmes.
■ Programs with prewash
*
: If
automatic dosing is selected,
detergent will be dispensed
automatically for the prewash and
main wash cycles.
i-DOS Setting the dosage
The basic dosage is the recommended
dosage for a typical load of household
laundry weighing 4.5 kg. The quantity of
detergent and care product actually
dispensed is calculated using the basic
dosage and the amount of laundry,
which is detected automatically.
The basic dosages for liquid detergent
and fabric softener are set at the
factory. You can individually adjust the
basic dosages for each dispenser.
Check whether the preset basic
dosages follow the manufacturer's
recommendations in terms of:
■ A 4.5 kg load
■ For liquid detergent – the normal
degree of soiling and the relevant
water hardness
■ For fabric softener – the medium
softness
Refer to the packaging label on your
liquid detergent/fabric softener or ask
the manufacturer directly for this
information.
Below is an example of detergent
dosages on a packaging label:
If necessary, adjust the basic dosages
to the recommended load for the liquid
detergent/care product you are using,
the water hardness and/or the degree
of soiling.
Adjusting the basic dosage
1. Press and hold i-DOS Ž for approx.
three seconds.
The basic dosage setting is
