Dispensers i-Dos ô (1.3 l) and i-Dos iIô (0.5 l) in the detergent drawer are used for this. You can select whether you want to use one liquid detergent and one softener or two liquid detergents. Depending on the selected programme and settings, the optimum amounts of detergent/softener are dosed via the i-Dos containers. Switching on the appliance The appliance has been preset at the factory for dosing a liquid detergent and a fabric softener, identified by corresponding filling lids: Ø ß Standard/universal detergent Ø M Softener only i-Dos MIô Filling dispenser 1. Open detergent drawer. 2. Open fill cover. 3. Pour detergent/softener. Fill dispenser maximum up to max marking. 4. Close fill cover. 5. Slowly push in detergent drawer all the way. When the appliance is switched on, the completely inserted drawer is indicated by: Ø Associated display is lit when intelligent dosage i-Dos ô / i-Dos i ô is selected. ~ Page 33 Ø Display flashes once and goes out, if intelligent dosage is not selected. ~ Page 33 ² 32 When selecting your detergent and care product, follow the instructions of the manufacturers. We recommend the use of standard, universal and color liquid and gel-like detergents for all machine-washable, coloured textiles made of cotton and synthetic materials. Ø Use only self-flowing liquid products and gels which the Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø manufacturer recommends adding to a detergent drawer. Do not mix different liquid detergents. If changing the liquid detergent (type, manufacturer, ...), empty the dispenser completely. ~ Page 41 Do not use any solvent-based, corrosive or gas-emitting products (e.g. liquid beach). Do not mix detergent and softener. Do not use any superimposed or highly thickened products. To prevent product from drying, do not leave the fill cover open for a long time. In daily use Ø Illuminated displays on the drawer handle – Display is lit if intelligent dosage is selected for the dispenser. In the case of the combined container i ô the indicator light is lit for the stored container content (i for softener/ô for detergent). ~ Page 38 – Display flashes if the fill level for the container is below the minimum when intelligent dosage has been selected. – Display flashes briefly when drawer has been inserted correctly. Ø Selecting and deselecting intelligent dosage/adjusting dosage strength The intelligent dosage of detergent and softener is selected in the factory for all permitted programmes. Refer to ~ Page 22 The dosage strength for detergent has been preset to light (lightly soiled washing) and for softener to medium (normally soft washing) and can be individually changed for each programme. Refer to ~ Page 17 In addition to intelligent dosage, washing additives (e.g. stain remover) can be added manually via dispenser À Á. ~ Page 36 ² The selection (on/off) of i-Dos MIô and i-Dos ô is retained for each programme until the next change occurs, even if the machine is switched off. 33 Ø Reloading detergent/softener The flashing of the associated illuminated display when intelligent dosage is selected and a corresponding message on the display panel indicate that the level is below the minimum. There are still enough contents for approx. 3 washes. The same detergent or softener can be topped up at any time. If the product/manufacturer is changed, we recommend cleaning the dispensers beforehand. ~ Page 41 If required, adjusting the basic dosage. ~ Page 34 Standard settings Ø If required, change basic dosages for detergent and softener: The basic dosage amount to be set corresponds: For detergents – to the manufacturer's recommendation for normal soiling and to the particular water hardness. For softeners – to the manufacturer's recommendation for medium softness and to the particular water hardness. This information can be found on the package label of the detergent/softener or ask the manufacturer directly. To determine the existing water hardness, use a test strip or check with your water utility company. My water hardness: Here is an example of the detergent dosage on a package label: ² 34 Degree of soiling → Water hardness ↓ light normal heavy very heavy soft/medium 55 ml 75 ml 120 ml 160 ml hard/very hard 75 ml 95 ml 150 ml 180 ml – Factory setting of the basic dosage: for detergent 75 ml and for softener 36 ml. – In the case of more concentrated detergents reduce the basic dosage amount. Ø If intensive foaming occurs repeatedly during washing, pleas check the basic dosage setting and dosage strength. Furthermore, some liquid detergents may have a tendency to excessive foaming. If the basic dosage settings and dosage strengths are correct, it is recommended to use a different liquid detergent. Change basic dosage amount. ~ Page 38 Ø If required, convert i-Dos iIô dispenser contents. Instead of softener, a second liquid detergent can also be used in dispenser i-Dos iIô. Change dispenser content. ~ Page 38 ² – When the i-Dos iIô container content is switched from softener to detergent, the basic dosage amount of detergent for this container is set to the factory setting (75 ml) and the dosage for this detergent is set to off in all permitted programmes. Then select the detergent dosage (light, normal or strong) via the i-Dos iIô button on the display panel. ~ Page 17 The i-Dos ô container is automatically deactivated if the detergent dosage is activated for the i-Dos iIô container. The settings are retained for this programme until the next change. – When the i-Dos iIô container content is switched to softener, the basic dosage amount is set to factory setting (36 ml) and the dosage is set to normal in all permitted programmes. – Switching over the container contents requires an additional acknowledgement via the display panel. i Cancel A change to the i-Dos content resets the i-Dos iIô settings to their standard value. Continue 35 Manual dosage In the case of programmes in which intelligent dosage is not possible or not requested (then set intelligent dosage to off), detergent is added to detergent drawer À Á. In addition to intelligent dosage of detergents - cleaning agents such as water softener, bleach or stain remover can also be dosed here. 1. Pull out the detergent drawer. 2. Dosing in dispenser À Á according to: – Dosage recommendation on the display panel, e.g. for Cottons: Dosage: 70% Please load laundry: max. 8kg ú Depending on the amount of washing in the washing machine, a dosing recommendation is indicated on the display panel. – Soiling. – Water hardness (~ Page 34) or ask your water supply company. – Manufacturer's instructions. ² 36 – When dosing all detergents, cleaning aids and cleaning agents, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. – Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevents blockage of the overflow! – If detergent is dosed manually, no additional detergent via intelligent dosage (set intelligent dosage to off). It prevents overdosage and foaming.

New species of praying mantis found
Nineteen new species of a tree-living praying mantis family have been discovered, tripling the group's diversity at a stroke.
The bark mantises from Central and South America were found in tropical forests and among specimens kept in museums.
Many of the newly described species are known only from a few specimens collected before 1950 from locations now heavily impacted by agriculture or urban development.
"Based on this study, we can predict that mantis groups with similar habitat specialisation in Africa, Asia and Australia will also be far more diverse than what is currently known," said Dr Gavin Svenson, curator of invertebrate zoology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the US.
"Many of these groups have never been studied other than by the scientists that originally described some of the species, which in some cases is more than 100 years ago. This is exciting because enormous potential exists for advancing our understanding of praying mantis diversity just by looking within our existing museum collections and conducting a few field expeditions."
Dr Svenson searched for the insects in eight countries in Central and South America, and studied hundreds of specimens from 25 museums in North America, South America and Europe.
Bark mantises are fast runners that live on the trunks and branches of trees. Contrary to the common perception of mantises being slow, methodical ambush experts, the insects are active hunters that pursue their prey.
Also unlike some other mantis species, they are not believed to engage in cannibalism.
They are highly camouflaged and evade predators by running to the opposite side of their tree - a tactic also adopted by many tree-dwelling lizards.
"This is an amazing behaviour for an insect because it shows that they are not only relying on camouflage like most insects but are constantly monitoring their environment and taking action to run and hide," said Dr Svenson.
"In addition, some species leap off the tree trunk to avoid capture and play dead after fluttering down to the forest floor since none of the species are strong fliers."
The new species are described in the latest edition of the online open access journal Zookeys.

Children of a village in the Philippines use yellow boats instead of yellow buses to reach school
Have you ever heard about the kids who have to swim to school? This was the reality of a whole community of children in the mangrove village of Layag-Layag in the Philippines. There is no road to school. Children have to swim to reach the school, which is just 2 km away from the village. Most of time, children's notebooks, bags and other items would get soaked, if not properly wrapped in plastic. Children used to arrive at school wet and sometimes injured from corals and crabs.
After witnessing such conditions of kids, Jay Jaboneta and Anton Mari H. Lim founded the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation. They started with one boat to bring about 25-30 kids to school. But soon they realized that it was not enough for all the children.
The organization that was started as an attempt to get kids to reach the school safe and dry has now developed into a foundation that builds boats, schools, provides medical help and even conducts livelihood programs to help the communities. Now, the same boats that send the children to school also help fishermen in the community to earn a living.
It's amazing how one simple idea of a boat has grown to engage 40 communities and help more than 8,000 children. It's wonderful to see children reaching school without being wet, boarding a cheerful yellow boat instead of a yellow bus.
