4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

4.1 Special features

Your new washing machine meets all

modern requirements for an effective

treatment of laundry with low water,

energy and detergent consumption and

proper care of fabric.
• The AutoDose technology

automatically dispenses the right

amount of detergent according to the

load; the drawer has two integrated

tanks (det softener) and two

additional compartments for detergent

and additives manual load. It gives

the highest use flexibility.

• The Wi-Fi connection and Remote

Start enable you to start a cycle, to

interact with your washing machine

and to check the washing cycle status

in remote control.

• The FreshScent System, thanks to

new Cashmere and Freshscent

steam programmes offers the perfect

solution for refreshing even the most

delicate garments without washing.

Use the delicate fragrance exclusively

developed by ELECTROLUX to add a

pleasant feeling of "just-washed"

garment to the removing odours and

wrinkles action.

• The UltraCare technology has been

designed to protect the fabric fibres

thanks to different pre-mixing phases

that dissolves first the detergent and

then fabric softener in the water

before they are distributed in the

laundry. So every fibre is reached and

cared for.

• The steam has a quick and easy way

to refresh the clothes. The gentle

steam programmes remove odours

and reduce creases in dry fabrics so

they need little ironing.

The Plus Steam option, finishes

every cycle with gentle steam that

relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric

creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The Intensive option pre-treats

stubborn stains optimizing the

effectiveness of washing

performance.

• Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the

fabric softener is uniformly spread out

in the laundry and deeply penetrates

the fabric fibres favouring a perfect

softness.

• The SensiCare System detects the

laundry load size defining the

programme duration in 30 seconds.

The washing programme is tailored to

the laundry load and the type of fabric

without consuming more time, energy

and water than necessary.
