proper care of fabric.

steam programmes remove odours
and reduce creases in dry fabrics so
they need little ironing.
The Plus Steam option, finishes every
cycle with gentle steam that relaxes
the fibres and reduces fabric creasing.

stubborn stains optimizing the
effectiveness of the stain remover.
