7. CONTROL PANEL
7.1 Special features
Your new washer-dryer meets all modern
requirements for effective treatment of
laundry with low water, energy and
detergent consumption and detergent
consumption and proper care of fabric.
•FreshScent System, thanks to new
FreshScent steam programme, 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.
• 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.
