7. THE AUTODOSE TECHNOLOGY (AUTODOSING)

Read this chapter carefully.

Right detergent and fabric softener dosage takes better care of the laundry and ensuring good wash performances. Too much detergent damages your clothes and too little doesn’t ensure good wash performances. This appliance is equipped with an auto dosing system able to automatically provide the right detergent and fabric softener dosage to preserve the fabric integrity and colour brightness. AutoDose liquid detergent tank. AutoDose fabric softener tank. The appliance is pre-set by the factory to suit most users habits. Once started the programme, the appliance will automatically release the right amount of detergent and softener according to the real fabric load, if AutoDose is activated and the indicators and/or are visible on the display. In some programmes, AutoDose is deactivated (the indicators and/or are not displayed and the display shows OFF) because there are garments requiring special detergents or treatments. If this is the case, pour the detergent and other treatments in the proper manual filling compartment. Please refer to "AutoDose and options compatibility with programmes" in "Programmes" chapter. ENGLISH 69Further explanations on AutoDose and activation of advanced settings are available downloading the APP.

7.2 Detergent dispenser with

AutoDose tanks and manual compartments When using detergent and any other treatments, always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the detergent products. We recommend not to exceed the maximum indicated level in each compartment ( ). If both AutoDose tanks are enabled in the set programme , liquid detergent and fabric softener are automatically loaded. If one of the AutoDose tank or both are disabled (OFF ) in the set programme, proceed by manually filling in the proper manual compartment. Manual AutoDose (Manual)

• AutoDose tanks for liquid detergent and fabric softener . WARNING! Do not put powder detergent in the AutoDose compartment.

• Manual compartment for washing phase: powder or liquid detergent. When using liquid detergent, make sure that the special container for liquid detergent is inserted. Refer to the "Manual filling the detergent and additives" paragraph in this chapter. The liquid detergent container is supplied inside the drum.

Manual Manual compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, fabric conditioner, starch).

• Maximum level for detergent/ additives quantity.

7.3 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. The appliance will use these settings to calculate the precise dosage for each wash based on load size. 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: 70 ENGLISH1. 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 and identify the quantity to use. For the detergent the suggested quantity of detergent is the combination of three different factors:

• Water hardness level (see the following table);

• Rated capacity of the appliance (e.g. maximum load capacity 8 kg). If the rated capacity on the detergent container label refers to lower capacity appliances, the customized dosage should be increased by 20% referring to the proposed dosage. Table title. As example for a ma‐ chine with rated capacity 8 kg, medium water, nor‐ mal soil level the dosage is recognised by the crossing in the detergent label dosages. 3-5kg 5-8kg 8+kg Water hardness levels Levels Water hardness range
