So, as soon as the "Kg MODE" is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash, it: - adjusts the amount of water required - determines the length of the wash cycle - controls rinsing according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it: - adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed - recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during rinsing - adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance. In this way "Kg MODE" is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations. "Kg MODE" meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection. In fact, the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.
