Check the detergent/fabric softener box to verify whether it is diluted or concentrated detergent.
Signals for successive refilling: Once, at the end of a cycle, the level of detergent/fabric softener falls below the level required for a successive wash cycle, the display will visualise the relative messages "At end of cycle refill detergent" or "At end of cycle refill softener" or "At end of cycle refill tanks". If the tanks are not filled, the successive wash cycles in Auto Dose System will be carried out without any intake of detergent.
