Sensors – Your washing machine is so intelligent
Load adjust
Depending on the type of textile and load, the load adjust optimally adjusts the water consumption in each programme.
Load sensor/Load display
The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine when the door is open. This is indicated by a progressing bar on the display panel.
To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum
²
must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.
Dosing recommendation
A detergent dosage recommendation is displayed depending on the selected programme and the detected load. ~ Page 15
By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect
²
the environment and reduce your household costs.
Unbalanced load detection system
The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the laundry several times to ensure even distribution.
For reasons of safety the speed is reduced or does not perform a spin cycle if the washing is very unevenly distributed.
Distribute small and large items of washing in the drum.
