3 - PROGRAMMING (continued)
Opti 4
You washing machine can automatically optimise the length of the wash cycle and the water and energy consumption of every wash.
- Adjustment to the quantity of laundry:
Washing 1kg of laundry is not the same as washing a full load, which is the reason why your washing machine is equipped with sensors that detect the quantity of laundry in the drum and automatically calculate the right levels of water and energy required to produce a perfect wash.
- Adjustment to the hardness of the water:
The hardness of the water in your mains supply affects the wash and rinse performances of your appliance, which is the reason why your washing machine automatically adapts the tumble time and the number of rinses to produce a perfect result.
The water hardness is adjusted when you use your washing machine for the first time (see special insert).
- Adjustment to the degree of soiling:
The length and the intensity of the wash depend on how dirty your laundry is, which is the reason why your appliance can vary the length of the wash cycle by up to 40% according to the selected settings (see page 6).
- Adjustment to the type of textile:
Cotton shirts and cashmere pullovers do not demand the same wash, which is the reason why your washing machine adapts its tumble speed to each type of textile.
For your information : The time shown on the washing machine when you select a programme corresponds to the time for an average load. This time is adjusted, once the appliance has taken its measurements and then throughout the programme, according to any unexpected events (too much washing powder, an unbalanced load when spinning, etc.).
Easy start
Your washing machine memorises your habits.
Every time a programme starts, the machine records the options that you use most frequently, and proposes these same options as soon as you switch on the appliance.
