Auto Dose System
Introduction
This washing machine is
equipped with two tanks: one
for liquid detergent (either
concentrated or diluted) with
a capacity of approx. 5.5 l
and another for liquid fabric
softener (either concentrated
or diluted) with a capacity of
approx. 3.5 l (see picture).
! Check the detergent/fabric
softener box to verify whether
it is diluted or concentrated
detergent. The automatic
dosing system intakes the
correct amount of detergent and fabric softener from the
tanks for each type of load and at the right time, guaranteeing
optimal washing results without wastage. The amount of
detergent/fabric softener can be modified manually by
pressing the DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER buttons
(refer to “Modifying pre-set parameters”). If you prefer, the
washing machine can also be used in the “traditional” mode,
i.e. by adding the detergent in the dispenser; the machine will
automatically detect the detergent and will not use the tanks.
Detergent dispenser
“Traditional” mode.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop
point to add the detergent (either liquid or powder detergent),
bleach or other additives (e.g. whiteners) and the pre-wash
detergent for washing in the “traditional” mode (refer to
“Traditional” mode).
“Auto Dose System” mode.
In order to fill the detergent
and fabric softener tanks, the
detergent dispenser drawer
must be fully extracted:
open the dispenser drawer
up to the first stop point then
press the lever (A) and open
up to the second stop point,
making sure that it is fully
extracted. Avoid moving
the dispenser drawer during
filling operations. Once the tanks have been filled (refer to
“Filling the tanks”), the machine can run up to 40 cycles before
the detergent finishes (*).
First-time use
Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
The first wash cycle must be carried out without laundry
and by adding detergent in the detergent dispenser (refer
to “Traditional” mode); set the programme “
“ (Cotton 90°)
without pre-wash and without filling the tanks.
Filling the tanks:
Open the detergent dispenser drawer in the “Auto Dose
System” mode (refer to “Detergent dispenser”).
Slowly pour the detergent (B) and fabric softener (C)
until the tanks are completely filled (see picture).
To avoid exceeding the maximum capacity, a buzzer (beep)
will sound with growing intensity to signal the level and 3 long
beeps will sound once the tank is completely full.
Start the wash cycle immediately after filling the tanks to
ensure that the dispenser is properly cleaned.The respective
icons
(for the detergent) and (for the fabric softener) will
light up gradually to signal the level.
The filling time depends on the density of the product. Very
dense products will take longer to fill.
Close the detergent dispenser drawer only once the
compartments are completely empty.
Select the density of the detergent added (either concentrated
or liquid) by pressing the appropriate button
.
Concentrated
Diluted
The machine will store the selection.
If no option is selected, the detergent intake option will be
pre-set to “diluted”.
Use button
to set the amount of fabric softener that will
be automatically extracted by the machine:
1) If concentrated softener is used, we recommend selecting
the first level (
with one bar) and, if necessary, stepping up
by a single position (
with 2 bars) to increase detergent
intake.
2) If diluted softener is used, we recommend setting level
3 (
with 3 bars) and to then either increase/decrease the
amount of fabric softener to be extracted.
3) To exclude the use of fabric softener, press
until the
bars disappear (also refer to “Modifying pre-set parameters”).
