8.3 AutoDose basic setting
The factory pre-set doses for a large
load are 90 ml for detergent tank and
25 ml for fabric softener tank: the
optimal configuration to meet majority
of use condition. Based on this
setting, the appliance will calculate
the precise dosage for each wash.

However, under extreme conditions (very
soft or very hard water) and particular
type of detergent (such as super
compact), we recommend to adjust the
pre-set dosage by following the
indication given on detergent and fabric
softener container: e.g when using super
compact detergent you may need to
reduce the pre-set dosage considerably.
If the washing results are not satisfying
or there is too much foam during
washing, you may need to change the
factory setting. Read in the paragraph
'AutoDose configuration mode' how to
change the basic setting, but before:
1. Identify the water hardness level.
Check the water hardness level in
your area. The levels are generally
indicated as: soft, medium and hard.
If necessary, please contact your
local water authority to check the
water hardness in your area.
2. Identify the customized detergent
dosage.
Check the label in the detergent/
fabric softener container suggesting
the quantity to use. This suggestion
is measured combining three
different factors:
• Water hardness level (see the
following table);
• Normal soil level;
• Rated capacity of the appliance
(e.g. maximum load capacity 9
kg). If the rated capacity on the
product container refers to lower
capacity appliances, the
customized dosage should be
increased.
