time and money.

Auto Creasecare:

Reduces creasing on any wash programme by gradually reducing the water temperature towards the end of the wash programme.

Profile Spin:

Less water, less creasing and less ironing. Gradually steps up the spin speed for the most efficient water extraction.

Pulse Spin:

Reduces wear and tear on your laundry. A long, steady spin is followed by a 30 second burst at the maximum speed for your machine, to enable safer, more efficient water extraction.

Dry Spin:

There will be a 2 minute spin about 20 minutes after the drying programme has started; this improves the drying performance. NOTE: This feature will not operate if you have selected a combined Wash & Auto Dry Programme for synthetic fabrics.

Infobubble™ Display:

The Infobubble™ displays your selected wash programme, optional wash features selected and shows you exactly where you are in the washing cycle.
