9. THE AUTODOSE TECHNOLOGY (AUTODOSING)

Read this chapter carefully.

9.1 Introduction
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 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 the
indicators and/or are on in the
display.

In some programmes,
AutoDose is OFF (OFF is on
and the indicators and/or
are off in the display)
because there are garments
requiring special detergents
or treatments. When OFF is
on, pour the detergent and
other treatments in the
proper manual filling
compartment.
Please refer to “AutoDose
and options compatibility
with programmes” in
“Programmes” chapter.
Further explanations on
AutoDose and activation of
advanced settings are
available downloading the
APP.

9.2 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.
Anyway, 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
the product in the proper compartment.

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

9.3 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/

13. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to “Daily
Use” chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pauza button.
The spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

13.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment:
• Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these
generic rules:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization,
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent
will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the
colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature
and hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level ( ).
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam
during washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not
in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.

13.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewash in order to
save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the
maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce
energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, refer to the quantity
suggested by the detergent producer
and check the water hardness of you
domestic system. Refer to ‘Water
hardness’.
• Set the maximum possible spin
speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your
laundry in a tumble dryer. This will
save energy during drying!

13.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
additive for water softening. In areas
where the water hardness is soft it is not
necessary to use him.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of additive for
water softening. Follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the
product.
