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.

Aqua-Sensor depending on model

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

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.

i To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum 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

i By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect 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.

i Distribute small and large items of washing in the drum. Faults, what to do? → Page 38

Water inlet hose

i Water inlet hose: do not kink, crush, modify or sever (strength is no longer guaranteed).

Optimum water pressure in the mains: 100–1000 kPa (1–10 bar)

When the tap is turned on, the water flow is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.

  1. Connect the water supply hose.

Warning!

Threads for screw connections may be damaged!

If the screw connections are tightened too tightly using a tool (pliers), the threads may be damaged.

Tighten plastic screw-fittings by hand only.
