3. Framledningstemperatur (tillopp - fjärrvärme temperatur in från gatan)
4. Returledningstemperatur fjärrvärme
5. Delta T eller skillnad mellan framledning och returledning. Större delta t = bra (bonus vs straffavgift)

Gmail 2-step verification.
Pro's: Increased security.
Con's: Loads of set up routines per app. Can lock yourself out of account if not careful.
Only web-based apps on iOS supports the authenticator app. Other apps need application specific passwords.
Safety net: 10 backup codes/one login per code. SMS to phone. Better not use same phone as authenticator app ;)
Authenticator app starts without password/restriction and gives you ~30 seconds to use the one time password/number displayed. Only works in web-browsers/html5 supported apps, making application specific password an must for most apps on the phone.
Authenticator app is possible to set up on two phones simultaneously, but needs access to both phones during installation. SMS service is sometimes slow, and not recommended for daily use.
Web browsers can be set to accept cookies, and grant permission per 30 day interval, with authenticator app, and 1st login password only.
Great feature, considering the increased risk of hijackings of gmail accounts lately. Suspicious activity or log in's from different IP's around the world shows up as warnings.
Electrolux washing machine, W365h/W365LE/W465LE
Check number of running hours.
take notice: the counter maxes out at 9999 and then starts over. 5000hours could be 15000 hours, check manufacturing year and what is reasonable. Manufacturing date is printed on door when you open it.
The following commands can be pressed to check number of total running hours.
1. Start program, i.e dry spin cycle 3 min
2. Press "runner" and first two numbers of total running hours is displayed
3. Press "extra rinse" and the two last numbers of total running hours is displayed.
Link to video showing how to check number of total running hours:
Video 1 showing 9851 hours of total operation (running hours)
Video 2 showing 0739 = 10739 hours of operation (running hours)
Wascator name is deprecated, only the Electrolux name is used nowadays. Electrolux Laundry Systemes.
Numbers in model name equals drum volume (i.e w465 model = 65 litres)
Previous line =3X5 series (green colour/ie w365LE). Current line as of 2010-2012 = 4x5 (blue colour/ie W465LE).
455H model = made in Thailand, all other models manufacured in Ljungby Sweden.
LE models = Low Energy, and uses domestic hot/tap water and minimizes running time (heating) and costs.
Just a test using a blog app for on the road documentation/updates. BlogPress supports videos and pictures, and a number of platforms. Pro's Multiple accounts at the same time Con's iOS only (=more apps to learn)
