3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 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 Oko-Mix 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 ProSense technology 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.
• 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 Höyryviimeistely option, finishes
every cycle with gentle steam that
relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric
creasing. Ironing will be easier!
• The Tahrat option pre-treats
stubborn stains optimizing the
effectiveness of the stain remover.
• 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.

and quantity of laundry, the set options,
spin speed and voltage fluctuations in
the electricity network. The display shows
the indicator .
If you select the Cotton
programme at 40°C or 60°C

appliance performs the spinning
phase and drains the water.
•Activate the Extra Silent option.
All spinning phases (intermediate spin
and final spin) are suppressed and the
