Dosing Aid

Before the ﬁrst use...

Make sure that the Dosing Aid function can work optimally. 1. Compare the dosing recommendation of the detergents you use with the dosing values preset in the washing machine.

Adjust them if there is a mismatch.

2. Check and eventually adjust the water hardness preset in the washing machine.

1. Detergent dosing values

The concentration of detergents available on the market differs considerably. This is why you have

to adjust your washing machine settings according to your detergents.

Your washing machine comes with 3 preset dosing values for 3 different types of detergents

(generic – delicates – dark colours). Each detergent type is associated to a group of programmes

(see table on the right). Each of the 3 preset values should be adjusted as to match the dosing re-

commendation reported on the package of the detergent/s that you intend to use for each speciﬁc

group.

Check and adjust one of the preset dosing values

(Detergent calibration)

Suppose you want to check and adjust the preset dosing value for all the programmes belonging

to the “Generic detergent group”.

Important: during this phase do not consider the local water hardness and the habitual

soil level of your laundry. Simply follow the instruction below.

A - Check

First check on the package of your generic detergent which dosing amount is recommended for

medium water hardness (or medium/soft) and medium soil level (or medium/light). Please use this

value when you reach step 3 of the procedure described in the following section (see B - Adjust).

To find out your local water hardness, ask your local water supply authorities, or use the test strip attached to the Calgon Leaflet provided with your washing machine (if available): Shake off the excess water immediately.
