YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE
This new washing machine, which is fitted with
the Direct Spray system, patented Electrolux,
meets all modern needs for effective treatment
of laundry with low water, energy and detergent
consumption.
Further savings are achieved by washing small
loads of laundry, since water and electricity
consumption is proportional to the quantity and
type of laundry being washed.
■
The temperature selector dial will allow
you to choose the most suitable temperature
for your laundry.
■
The special wool programme with its new
delicate wash system treats your woollen
with extreme gentleness.
■
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the
washing machine remains stable when
spinning.
■
The automatic cooling of the washing
water from 95° to 60°C before draining will
prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.
