General information about stains

The Stains additional programme option for treating special

stains can be found via the Ö Options button.

A total of 16 different stains can be selected. The washing

machine adjusts the washing temperature, drum movement and

soaking time specific to the type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle

or intensive washing control and long or short soaking provide

the wash programme with a special sequence for each type of

stain. The result: stains are treated optimally.

Intelligent Dosing System

Your washing machine features an intelligent dosing system for

liquid detergent and softener. Dispensers i-Dos ô (1.3 l) and

i-Dos iIô (0.5 l) in the detergent drawer are used for this. You

can select whether you want to use one liquid detergent and one

softener or two liquid detergents.

Depending on the selected programme and settings, the

optimum amounts of detergent/softener are dosed via the i-Dos

containers.

Switching on the appliance

The appliance has been preset at the factory for the dosing of a

liquid detergent and a softener, indicated by corresponding

changeable inserts in the fill covers:

selected. ~ Page 33

When selecting your detergent and care product, follow the

instructions of the manufacturers. We recommend the use of

standard, universal and color liquid and gel-like detergents for all

machine-washable, coloured textiles made of cotton and

synthetic materials.

Ø Use only self-flowing liquid products and gels which the

manufacturer recommends adding to a detergent drawer.

Ø Do not mix different liquid detergents. If changing the liquid

detergent (type, manufacturer, ...), empty the dispenser

completely. ~ Page 41

Ø Do not use any solvent-based, corrosive or gas-emitting

products (e.g. liquid beach).

Ø Do not mix detergent and softener.

Ø Do not use any superimposed or highly thickened products.

Ø To prevent product from drying, do not leave the fill cover

open for a long time.

The selection (on/off) of i-Dos MIô and i-Dos ô is retained for

each programme until the next change occurs, even if the

machine is switched off.

Ø Reloading detergent/softener

The flashing of the associated illuminated display when

intelligent dosage is selected and a corresponding message

on the display panel indicate that the level is below the

minimum. There are still enough contents for approx.

3washes.

The same detergent or softener can be topped up at any

time. If the product/manufacturer is changed, we recommend

cleaning the dispensers beforehand. ~ Page 41 If required,

adjusting the basic dosage. ~ Page 34

Standard settings

Ø If required, change basic dosages for detergent and softener:

The basic dosage amount to be set corresponds:

For detergents – to the manufacturer’s recommendation for

normal soiling and to the particular water hardness.

For softeners – to the manufacturer’s recommendation for

medium softness and to the particular water hardness.

This information can be found on the package label of the

detergent/softener or ask the manufacturer directly.

To determine the existing water hardness, use a test strip or

check with your water utility company.

My water hardness:

Here is an example of the detergent dosage on a package

label:

– Factory setting of the basic dosage: for detergent 75 ml and

for softener 36 ml.

– In the case of more concentrated detergents reduce the

basic dosage amount.

Degree of soiling ヾ

Water hardness ゝ

light normal heavy very

heavy

soft/medium 55 ml 75 ml 120 ml 160 ml

hard/very hard 75 ml 95 ml 150 ml 180 ml

Ø If intensive foaming occurs repeatedly during washing, please

check the basic dosage setting and dosage strength.

Furthermore, some liquid detergents may have a tendency to

excessive foaming. If the basic dosage settings and dosage

strengths are correct, it is recommended to use a different

liquid detergent.

Change basic dosage amount. ~ Page 38

Ø If required, convert i-Dos iIô dispenser contents.

Instead of softener, a second liquid detergent can also be

used in dispenser i-Dos

iIô.

Change dispenser content. ~ Page 38

– An additional changeable insert for a second detergent is

enclosed and can be fitted in the fill cover.

–When the i-Dos

iIô container content is switched from

softener to detergent, the basic dosage amount of detergent

for this container is set to the factory setting (75 ml) and the

dosage for this detergent is set to off in all permitted

programmes. Then select the detergent dosage (light, normal

or strong) via the i-Dos iIô button on the display panel.

~ Page 17

The i-Dos

ô container is automatically deactivated if the

detergent dosage is activated for the i-Dos

iIô container.

The settings are retained for this programme until the next

change.

–When the i-Dos

ô container content is switched to

softener, the basic dosage amount is set to factory setting

(36 ml) and the dosage is set to normal in all permitted

programmes.

– Switching over the container contents requires an additional

acknowledgement via the display panel.

i A change to the i-Dos content

resets the i-Dos iIô settings

to their standard value.

Load adjust

Depending on the type of textile and load, the load adjust

optimally adjusts the water consumption in each programme.

Aqua-Sensor

During the wash and rinse cycles the Aqua sensor checks the

degree of turbidity (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent

residue) of the washing and rinsing water. The duration and

number of rinse cycles are specified depending on the water

turbidity and, if required, an additional amount of detergent is

dosed in the automatic programmes.

Load sensor/Load display

The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine

when the door is open. This is indicated by a progressing bar on

the display panel.

To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum

must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.

Dosing recommendation

The dosing recommendation indicates a recommended

detergent dosage as a %, depending on the selected programme

and the detected load. The indicated % refers to the

recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.

By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect the

environment and reduce your household costs.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the

laundry several times to ensure even distribution.

For reasons of safety the speed is reduced or does not perform

a spin cycle if the washing is very unevenly distributed.
