1. THE NEW WASHING SYSTEM 

 

This new washer dryer is the outcome of years of research. 
The  leading-edge  design  and  the  quality  of  the  production  processes  used  to 
manufacture this product ensure it will give you many years of excellent service. 
Its concept satisfies all current and future washing and drying requirements. 

Its low water, power and detergent consumption help protect the environment 
and reduce running costs to a minimum. 

 

Water and power consumption has been reduced in all programmes. 

These  results  were  achieved  by  means  of  a 

special  washing  system

  valid  for  all 

programmes and all fabrics. 
The drum is fitted with three external vanes that keep the water constantly circulating, 
thereby offering intensive and uniform washing whilst consuming less water. 
This ensures your laundry is washed and treated with utmost care. 
 

The new washing system is so effective that normally dirty laundry can even be 
cleaned without a pre-wash cycle. 

Washing times have also been reduced. 
Pre-washing is only recommended for very dirty laundry. 
 
Please read the operating instructions with care in order to take full advantage of all 
the features offered by this washer dryer.
