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 recommendation 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).
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.
