Abstract

The first storage (9a) stores permissible maximum washing weights; the second storage (9b) is for ideal detergent volumes; and the third (9c) for program times. The first and third storage values are associated with a wash program or the laundry type and weight associated with the program. An evaluator circuit integrated into the microprocessor control retrieves the storage values of all the storage and calculates three sets of display values.
