Sensors

Automatic load sensing

Depending on the type of fabric and load, the automatic load sensing function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration in each programme.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system detects imbalances and ensures even distribution of the laundry by repeatedly starting and stopping drum spinning.

If the laundry is extremely unevenly distributed, the speed is reduced or the spin cycle is not performed for safety reasons.

Note: Place large and small items of

laundry evenly in the drum. ~ Page 36, ~ Page 48

AquaSensor

Depending on the program and model During a rinse cycle, the Aqua sensor

checks the turbidity of the rinsing water (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent residue). The duration and the number of rinse cycles depend on the turbidity of the water.
