Dosing Aid - before the first use...
Check if the water hardness degree "soft" preset in the washing machine matches your regional
w
ater hardness. Also check if the dosing amounts recommended on your detergent packs corre-
spond with the preset basic dosing amounts of the washing machine.
= soft
= medium
= hard
If you want to reset the dosing values you saved and go back to the default values…
Adapt the preset water hardness if necessary
The water hardness of your washing machine is set to "soft". Check with your regional water supply authorities or by using the test stripe provided
with your washing machine, if the hardness of your water is also "soft". Refer to the picture on the right to understand how to interpret results from
the stripe test. If your regional water hardness is not "soft", adapt the water hardness setting of the washing machine as follows
:
Do this for all three programme groups mentioned above; it is sufficient to save a dosing value for ONE programme per group - it will be auto-
matically saved for the other programmes of this group. For example: if you save the dosing value for “Wool/Handwash”, it will be automatically
saved for “Delicates”, too.
If you want to change the saved dosing values (because you changed the type of detergent you use, for example)
…proceed as described above; the previously saved dosing value will be replaced by the new one for the programme group you selected.
To check and eventually change the preset detergent dosing value, proceed as follows:
First select a programme belonging to the group for which you want to check the preset dosing value.

ing machine now by pushing the buttons marked with “+” or “-”.
Press button marked with “Ok” to save the set detergent dosing value - the numbers
