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 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 Vapeur Plus option, finishes every
cycle with gentle steam that relaxes the
fibres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing
will be easier!
• Thanks to the Douceur Plus option, the
fabric softener is uniformly spread out in
the laundry and deeply penetrates the
fabric fibres favouring a perfect softness.
