able to spread and mixing the

detergent in an optimal way, and to to

dissolve the detergent residues after

each cycle.

• 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!

• 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.
