4.1 Appliance description
The cashier system controls the power supply to the connected appliance
based on the amount entered. The length of time that electricity is consumed
is then measured and charged. Enough coins (CHF / EUR) or tokens have to
be inserted for a complete wash or drying programme.
The appliance does not always debit the same amount of money for
the same wash or drying programmes, as the length of time that elec-
tricity is used, depends on various factors (load, amount and tempera-
ture of water, voltage, etc.).
Recommendations for use
The appliance does not give change. If operated with coins, it is recom-
mended that a basic amount e.g. (CHF / EUR) be inserted. This
ensures that the longest possible programme runs correctly. At the end of the
wash day, the user makes the amount up to again.
The maximum credit possible is .

5Calculation
5.1 Preface to the calculation
The costs which are calculated for the appliance are based on the operating
costs of the washing machine or tumble dryer connected. The operating costs
comprise the costs of the electricity and water consumed as well as of any
service subscription.
Example calculation for a washing machine with a 6 kg load capacity
The values indicated below are average values. These can (depending
on local electricity and water rates as well as subscription costs) vary
greatly.
Basis: Coloureds 60 °C without a pre-wash
Electricity costs
Electricity consumption Electricity tariff Electricity costs
1.4 kWh × CHF/kWh 0.25 = CHF 0.35
Water costs (incl. waste water)
Water consumption Water rate Water costs
70 litres = 0.07 m3×CHF/m33.76 = CHF 0.23
Subscription costs (per year with 5 to 12 parties)
Service subscription (WM *
CS)
No. wash cycles Subscription costs
CHF 232.00 + 83.00 =
CHF 315.00
÷ 600 = CHF 0.56

Total operating costs per programme (duration 70 mins.) CHF 1.14
Operating
costs
Per hour Programme duration
CHF 1.14 × 60 mins. ÷ 76 mins. = CHF/hr 0.90
In the absence of any individual components of the calculation, we recom-
mend a sum of CHF 0.90 per hour for washing and CHF 1.20 per hour for
drying.
5.2 Individual calculations
You will need the following details:
Electricity consumption* .............. kWh From the operating
instructions
Water consumption* (1m³ = 1000
litres)
................. m³ From the operating
instructions
Programme duration* ......... h ......... From the operating
instructions
Electricity tariff per kWh (incl. peak
and low tariffs)
CHF ............. Ask local electricity
supplier
Water rate per m³ (incl. waste water) CHF ............. Ask local electricity
supplier
Annual service costs CHF CHF ............. See service agreement
Number of wash cycles per year ...................... Approx. 150–200 per
year and household
* The calculation should be based on the example of the most frequently used
programme and carried out separately for each appliance. Ideally, select the
main programme «Coloureds 60°C» without a pre-wash for the washing
machine and the «Standard dry» programme for the tumble dryer.
