Weight sensor (where featured)

Appliances fitted with the weight sensor (inserted inside a shock absorber) are designed - thanks to the LCD
display - to inform the user of the weight of the laundry inside the drum while at the same time suggesting the
quantity of detergent to pour into the dispenser provided.
For it to operate, the appliance needs to be turned on and in selecting phase with the door open. When
the laundry is being placed inside the drum, the LCD displays the weight in kg with an accuracy of half
a kilogram.
The exact sequence to have the correct weight information is as follows:
The appliance must be turned off and the drum must be empty.
Turn the washing machine on, select the programme, choose the options, and if the door
was closed on starting, open it.
The LCD displays the maximum declared weight for the selected programme and 0.0 kg
the weight of the laundry inside the drum (empty drum). At the same time the laundry
is placed in the drum, the LCD display updates the digits relating to the time until the end
of the programme.
In the event of an overload in a programme (Cottons), the LCD display will continue to show the maximum
weight without warning that the load is excessive.
Whereas in other programmes (Synthetics, delicates, special programmes and in
particular the drying programmes) if the weight exceeds by only 1 kg or more, the
symbol "MAX" will begin to flash, together with the weight of the maximum load allowed.
In some cases, you will have to take some laundry out so that the symbol "MAX" and
the maximum weight allowed stop flashing and to guarantee optimum washing
performance.
Once the laundry has been loaded, close the door, the LCD display cancels all the weight details and displays
the quantity of detergent to be poured into the dispenser.
The representation consists of: a measuring cup, a number and the symbol for the
percentage.
The number displayed represents the percentage detergent to pour into the dispenser,
considering 100% to be the quantity required for the maximum load for the chosen
programme (value that remains fixed even in the case of an overload).
Once the detergent has been poured in, and the START/PAUSE button has been
pressed, the washing cycle will begin. The information about the weight of the laundry
and the percentage detergent disappears and will not be displayed again.
