4.2.2.1 Control panel configuration
Differences between “TC3 TIME MANAGER” and “TC3 PROPORTIONAL”
ª The P3 button controls three LEDs (DL11÷DL13)
ª The buttons P7-P8 perform the function of “DELAYED START”
ª In the LCD display, the T-shirt is not represented, but it is replaced by a circle formed by three arrows,
which start to move when a programme with the "PROPORTIONAL" function has been chosen (for the
number of programmes and their position, please refer to the user manual).
4.2.2.2 PROPORTIONAL
The characteristic trait of proportional programmes is that it calculates the time for the washing cycle, according
to the weight of the clothes inside the drum, with the measurement of the water quantity absorbed by the
clothes; that is to say, with a few clothes, the water absorption will be lower and consequently also the duration
of the washing cycle, while with more clothes and thus a heavier load, the water absorption will be higher and
the washing cycle accordingly longer.
When a "PROPORTIONAL” programme is selected, the LCD
displays the three digits which indicate the maximum time for the
cycle and all the available options for the programme.
Once the desired/possible options for the selected programme
have been selected, push the START button and the appliance
starts to calculate the real time required to perform and the cycle,
which is then displayed by the three animated arrows in pursuit;
during this time, you will see the time decreasing.
When the appliance has completed the calculation phase, the
flashing of the digits stops and the animation of the arrows
disappears, displaying the real time of the cycle.
