How to use

Load laundry into the drum through the 32 cm hatch and select a programme using the touch-screen control. If using automatic dosing, fill the detergent compartments and i-DOS will measure detergent and rinse aid as required; the app provides guidance on dosing and water hardness when connected via Home Connect. Choose additional functions such as HygienePlus for low-temperature hygienic cycles, SpeedPerfect for shorter programme time, or Iron Assist to reduce creasing. For very small loads, use Mini Wash or Active Water Plus to reduce water consumption. The reload function allows adding or removing items while a cycle is running when the door is unlocked.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the i-DOS system with manufacturer-recommended detergents and connect the washer to Home Connect to receive dosing and water hardness data. Use HygienePlus for items requiring hygienic cleaning and SpeedPerfect when quicker cycles are needed; avoid overfilling the drum to maintain wash and spin performance.
