The new dimension of washing
The new 3D drum moves the laundry also between the drums front and back. The program has a textile customised treatment thanks to the asymmetrical vanes of the drum. The increased movement of the laundry increases the washing effectivity.
A drum with very dense holes (7614 holes) allows the water to flow evenly between the textiles. Three rinses guarantees a good and fresh wash. The extra rinse can be activated e.g. for those who are suffering from detergent hypersensitivity.
Thanks to the high spin effectivity (1600 r/min), the remaning dampness is only 43%. This saves time and energy in the drying.
Comfort at all levels
A clear display and a A3 sized quick guide guides the user. The machine is easy to load and empty thanks to a very large loading door which opens 180 degrees. The door is right-handed, but can also be canged to left-handed. The running noise is very quiet (wash 42 dB and spin 63 dB), thanks to the triple soundproofing on the machine.
