Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012095257A2] The method for selecting and entering at least partially prepared program combinations for performing wet or dry laundry treatments by machine under the control of programs on the basis of basic programs and program data that are stored in a memory device (4) and that can be selected from an order (Table 7) at a level, which basic programs and program data can be displayed on at least one display (10), can be entered by means of at least one selection control (8, 12, 13, 23 to 28) and from an order of options of basic program variants that can be selected at a lower level, and can be activated in total by a start control (16), should make the procedure for stopping the treatment program even easier for the operating persons without extensive considerations of individual steps having to be made. For this purpose, clearly understandable instructions about how to proceed should be provided. This desire is met according to the invention in that, after the stop has been reached after the rinsing phase of the program sequence has been carried out, a display (10) indicates that the rinsing stop has been reached and a further selection of options can be made, and in that the options are displayed as self-explanatory soft keys (24), "Spin-dry"; (25),"Pump out" on the display (10) and can be triggered by touching the soft keys (24, 25). In an operating device designed according to said method, the display (10) has a display region (11) in which information and instructions can be presented in plain text.
