How Ecosma rtTM Works
The Fishor P_PaykolEcosmart's'2 in 1'wash systom gives you the bost of both worlds Usinq a
combination of front loader and top Goaderwash systems,the/qosm_rF "_gives exceptional wash
results wNle usin9 up to 50% less hot wateP<,and, at the same time taking better care of your
clothes thai] a conventional top load washer
Phase 1 - Eco Active T_v_Wash
F_ont Loade_ Type Wash
The/qosmt;r/-T_'fills the bowl, at the selected
temperature, with just enough water so that the clothes
are 100%saturated
This small amount of sudsy water iscirculated through
the clothes, up the specially designed portal and back
onto the clothes in awaterfall effect
The chemical action provided by a small amount of
water, combined with detergent, rapidly targets soil
and stainsat fiber level, boosting soil removal and
accelerating the wash process
\

Phase 2 - %p Loader Type Wash
Afi('r 4 minutos, your P,osmt;rF" will fill with just enouqh
cooler water to suspend the soil in solution. Agitation
win then begin, moving soil away from the clothes
Becauseof its head start, the wash requires lessagitation
