Load sensor/display
The load sensor detects the load level
in the washing machine when the door
is open. This is indicated by the bar
filling on the display panel.
Note:
In order for the load sensor to
fully determine the amount of laundry,
the drum must be empty before the
washing machine is switched on.
Dosing recommendation
The dosing recommendation indicates a
recommended detergent dosage as a
percentage, depending on the selected
programme and the detected load. The
indicated % refers to the dosing
recommendation of the detergent
manufacturer.
Note:
By adhering to the dosing
recommendation, you can help look
after both the environment and your
household budget.
