IntelligentDosing: clothes stay beautiful for longer

Thanks to Siemens intelligentDosing, your clothes look beautiful for longer. This is because a Siemens intelligentDosing washing machine has a special sensor. This measures how much laundry is in the drum and how dirty it is. Based on this, the washing machine automatically adds the right dosage. This way, you always use exactly enough. As a result, your clothes won't fade, but they're still cleaned properly. You also save water and energy, because fewer rinses are needed to rinse away the detergent.

With a Siemens intelligentDosing washing machine, you can use your own detergent and fabric softener. You add a large dosage in one go through the hatch in the detergent drawer. You can use a single dosage for up to 20 cycles. This is useful, as you don't have to dose yourself for every cycle. The washing machine measures how much is needed per cycle and adds just the right amount. Do you still want to dose manually? In that case, you can use the cutout to the left of the hatches.

Scan your detergent

You can connect the washing machine to your smartphone or tablet with the Home Connect app. Scan the barcodes on the bottles in the app so the washing machine knows which detergent and fabric softener you're using. For example, the washing machine needs less concentrated detergent per cycle. After scanning, the appliance automatically adjusts the amount. You can also enter the water hardness here, so your towels come out soft after every cycle.
