the washing machine to the dosing amounts of the
detergents which you use.
Furthermore, check if the washing machine’s preset
water hardness level (soft) corresponds to your local
water hardness level – if not adapt it (see “DOSING
AID / FIRST USE”).
Check on the packs of your detergents the dosing
amount for medium soil level and medium water

selected, also into the prewash (I)
compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Instead of adding the detergent to the detergent
dispenser, it can also be added directly into the
drum, in a detergent ball.
If Prewash is selected: prewash detergent can be
added into the drum, main wash detergent must
be added to the main wash compartment of the
detergent dispenser. Use powder detergent for the
main wash in this case, to ensure that it stays in the
detergent dispenser until start of the main wash
phase.
4. Close the detergent dispenser (or the

DOSING AID / DAILY USE
33
EN
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size for the programmes, as indicated in the
programme chart.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the detergents manufacturer’s instructions. Use
the Dosing Aid function; prepare this function as
indicated in “First use of the Dosing Aid function”.
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only.
• Pre-treat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVING TIPS
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C
wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C
wash programme. For cotton laundry, prefer
using programme Eco Cotton with 40°C or
60°C.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer.
• Use option Colours 15° for lightly soiled coloured
laundry; it saves energy for water heating.
