Integrated sensors automatically measure the load volume in the drum and dose the detergent, precise to the nearest millilitre.

If you want to get perfect washing results, you need to consider the fabric type when dosing the detergent. Or you can simply leave it to your washing machine – i-DOS detects fabric types automatically.

The dosing system i-DOS automatically detects the degree of soiling and sets the precise amount of detergent that is required.

The optimum dosing also depends on the water hardness in your home. Once it has been set, i-DOS considers the water hardness in each wash.
With i-DOS, you can simply relax: your benefits at a glance.
