Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0686721A1] A method for optimizing water utilization in a washing machine, washing-drying machine or the like during its use, said machine operating a wash program on a load or clothes placed in its usual drum (2) rotating within a tub (3), said program comprising a wash and a plurality of successive rinse stages, the weight of the load in the drum being evaluated in order to define the water quantity to be used at least for the first rinse stage; according to the method, this evaluation is effected using fuzzy logic, this fuzzy logic being successively utilized to evaluate the water quantity to be used for the rinse stages subsequent to the first. The invention also relates to the device for implementing the said method. <IMAGE>
