About this model
Text from the manufacturer, via Icecat.
- WaterSave - "A stream of water and detergent is sprayed directly onto the laundry from the nozzle at the beginning of the cycle, directly on clothes only using the right amount of water needed. The recirculation pump is also activated at the rinsing phase that provides perfect rinsing results which is reached by spraying water directly into the laundry instead of filling the hub. This way it’s possible to use less water and ensure outstanding rinsing results without soap residues. Not a drop more than needed
- Auto Dose - High capacity 1.2 lt tank with optimised algorithm secures maximum efficiency in detergent usage allowing up to 26 perfect cycles without refilling whilst saving you 30% of detergent at every cycle. Easy usability you only need to set detergent concentrationa and the Push-to-open system has been pressure tested to be reliable lasting for 10 years of usage
- 6th Sense - Intuitive 6TH SENSE technology continuously monitors your laundry, adapting the cycle and resources used to give you superior results, all whilst saving energy, water and time
