Select the «60 °C standard programme» by pressing the
button 2×.
12.8 Unbalanced load detection system
When spinning, if the control unit recognizes that the load is out of balance, it
will interrupt the spinning action once or more. This helps distribute the load
more evenly inside the washing drum. If this is not successful, the spin speed
is reduced. The washing is spun less intensively and is therefore wetter to the
touch.
12.9 Water and energy economy
During the first few minutes of a programme running, sensors automatically
determine the type and the size of the load being washed.
Water levels are then optimally adjusted to the wash load so that only the strict
amount of water needed is used.
12.10 Turbidity sensor
In addition to the water and energy economy feature, the amount of water
needed is optimized by a turbidity sensor.
With the help of the turbidity sensor, the control unit detects the degree of dirti-
ness of the soapy water at any time in the cycle and from this determines the
amount of water needed for the rest of the cycle.
For example, if only a low degree of dirtiness is detected during the first
rinsing cycle, then the amount of water used for rinsing during the second
rinsing cycle is reduced.
