Abstract: An method of operating a laundry treating appliance can include a first basket defining a first treating chamber and a second basket defining a second treating chamber. A liquid supply system can selectively supply water to the first basket, second basket, or both of the first and second baskets. A user interface can be configured to receive input from a user. A controller can operably couple with the liquid supply system and the user interface. The controller can receive an input at the user interface to a configuration type for the laundry treating appliance and can indicate treatment variable available to the user reflective of the configuration type.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for detecting washing machines removable basket, which comprises at least one washing basket (1) attached to the washing machine, at least one washing basket (2) removable from the washing machine and at least one structural component (3) attached to the washing machine. The system itself consists of at least one sensor (4) and at least one component (5) able to cause excitation in the sensor (4), wherein the sensor (4) can be physically associated to the structural component (3) attached to the washing machine and the component (5) can be physically associated with the washing basket (2) removable from the washing machine. Alternatively, the sensor (4) can be physically associated to the washing basket (2) removable from the washing machine and the component (5) may be physically associated to the structural component (3) attached to the washing machine.

Abstract: Touch-sensitive or User's finger movement-sensitive panel (1), applied to household appliances such as fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens and stoves, supplied with a touch sensor, capacitive or similar, allowing to control the equipment through the selection of specific functions and characteristics, without the need of gears with mobile pieces to detect the touch or its derivatives for such purpose. The said panel (1) is supplied with a capacitance measurement electronic circuit coupled with a sensitive element (4) conductor of electricity which allows the connection to the panel (1), which is supplied with a conductive element applied on its inner surface. This conductive element (6) allows the extension of the motion perception area next to the external surface or the touch on it.
