2 Function

2.1 Float switch (B8)

A float switch (B8) is located in the sump of the appliance housing.

If water leaks into the sump, float switch (B8) is activated.

The program and with it the water intake are stopped, and the fault message

Waterproof is issued.

2.2 Hot water intake control

The hot water intake starts from a temperature selection of

– USA: ≥ 86°F (30°C),

– Europe: > 95°F (35°C),

in all wash programs except woolens, silk and hand wash.

2.3 Automatic load control / Intelligent water intake (IWE)

Automatic load control matches the incoming water amount to the amount of

laundry.

Automatic load control is the outcome of intelligent water intake (IWE). An analog

pressure sensor monitors the water intake. The control measures the absorbency

rate of the laundry after the first and second water intake, the pressure drop rates,

the spin speed variance and the water amount taken in.

Based on this input, the laundry load and type of laundry are calculated.

Depending on program, the following parameters are adjusted:

– Water level,

– Wash duration (incl. correction of residual time),

– Number of additional heating cycles,

– Number of rinses,

– Water level in the rinse cycles,

– Rinse duration,

– Final spin speed.
