:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety
valve* in water (it contains an electric
valve).
* Depending on the model
Observe the following when connecting
the appliance:
Notes
■ Only operate the appliance using
cold mains water.
■ Do not connect the appliance to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-
water boiler.
■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
■ Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
1. Connect the water supply hose to
the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to
the appliance:
– Model: Standard
– Model: AquaSecure
– Model: Aqua-Stop
Tip: Connect also an external water
filter (depending on the model)
between water supply hose and tap.
The filter filters dirt particles out of the
water.
Water filter must be cleaned regularly
to remove contaminants. This will
prevent blockages. See also ~
separate installation and cleaning
instruction for water filter.
Positioning and connecting en

2. Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.
Water outlet
:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of scalding
if you come into contact with hot water
(e.g. when draining hot water into a
washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is immersed
in the drained water, water may be

Using a damp cloth, immediately
remove any fine spray residue and
other residue or droplets.
■ Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
■ Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts
or sweatshirts, should be turned
inside out.

A function test of the Ž i-DOS pump
unit takes place, and this can be
detected by a brief noise in the
Ž i-DOS detergent drawer.
2. Select a programme with Ž i-DOS
settings.
When the Ž i-DOS setting for
detergent and fabric softener is
active, the corresponding symbols
light up in the display.
3. Start the programme.
The drum rotates and, depending on
the programme selected, load
detection takes place (takes up to 2
minutes). Depending on the load
detected, the required quantities of
detergent and fabric softener (in the
last wash cycle) are then dosed,
which can be detected by a pump
noise.

Automatic dosing can be activated or
deactivated for each of the designated
wash programmes separately.
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 Ž i-DOS 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.
Ž 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 Ž i-DOS for approx.
three seconds.
The basic dosage setting is
displayed for one of the dispensers.
2. Change the setting using:

period of time.
5. Push in the detergent drawer.
Note: When refilling the dispensers,
always use the same type of liquid
detergent or fabric softener.
Do not mix different types of liquid
detergent or fabric softener, as this can
form lumps that may block the Ž i-DOS
pump unit.
If you switch to a different liquid
detergent or fabric softener (type,
manufacturer, etc.), empty the relevant
dispenser completely and clean it
beforehand. ~ Page 38

Manual dosing
For programmes in which automatic
dosing is not possible or desirable, or in
which it has been deactivated, you will
need to add detergent to the manual
dosing compartment.
The detergent and/or care product in
this compartment is dispensed when
the wash cycle starts. Do not add fabric
softener or any other products that
should not be used until later in the
wash cycle (e.g. during rinsing).
Note: Programmes with prewash
