Base Dosage; Dispenser Content For I-Dos Iiô - Siemens WM16Y899ES Instruction Manual And Installation Instructions

Base dosage

The basic dosages are:
For detergents – based on the
■
manufacturer's recommendation for
average soiling and the respective
water hardness.
For fabric softeners – based on the
■
manufacturer's recommendation for
a medium level of softness.
Refer to the packaging label of your
detergent/fabric softener or ask the
manufacturer directly for this
information.
To find out the hardness of your water
supply, use a test strip or check with
your water supplier.
My water hardness:
Below is an example of detergent
dosages on a packaging label:
Degree of
soiling →
Water
hardness ↓
soft/medium 55 ml 75 ml 120 ml 160 ml
hard/very hard 75 ml 95 ml 150 ml 180 ml
The default setting for the basic dosage
is set specifically according to the area
in which you live (e.g. 75 ml for
detergent and 36 ml for fabric softener).
To achieve optimum washing and
rinsing results, please set your basic
dosage depending on your detergent,
the water hardness in your area and the
fabric softener you use.
Intelligent dosing system
Notes
Reduce the basic dosage if using a
■
very concentrated detergent.
If large amounts of foam are
■
repeatedly created during washing,
please check your basic dosage and
dosage strength settings.
Certain types of liquid detergent can
also create excessive amounts of
foam. If your basic dosage and
dosage strength settings are correct,
we advise you to use a different
detergent.
