Cool! That's great! I didn't realise you were so close
Can you do weekends?
Well... *takes deep breath* on ULTRAMAX I've changed the programmes to:
Towels & Bedding (Big Items)
White Garments
Lights / Universal
Dark Garments
Handwash (+Wool/Silk)
Plus added a Delicates & Fashion button, (compatible with the first 4)... so the programmes will still sense cottons/synths and create a cycle...but then wash normally or on delicately ... So effectively you could select Whites, but also press the Delicates button, and have a program for keeping delicate items like lingerie nice and white!
But, I can't get the layout right.. and my biggest problem I also want to add a total of five "Modes" elsewhere on the machine...
ECO
FAST (as before with "LIBRA")
ALLERGY (as before with "Allergy Rinse")
and the new above mentioned DELICATE/FASHION
plus NORMAL obviously
but mixing all these and the soil levels is making the machines really complicated... and look complicated
Plus.. should I make the modes all individual, or compatible with one another?
For example... ECO and ALLERGY
On one hand its a bit counter intuitive for users to reduce water levels for ECO but then increase them again with ALLERGY... but, I don't want to confine people with allergies to the one setting, I mean what if they want to do a fast wash?
I think I'm going to end up not doing MODES at all and just taking the ALLERGY bit away and labelling it as an ALLERGY RINSE option, so it's clear it only alters the rinse... not wash!... and will be compatible with everything. Then remove ECO completely as they can use the temp selection to reduce the temp and save energy, and just have mix and match FAST and DELICATE options.
Humph!! Decisions...
