Pulse spin is an automatic function where a long,steady spin is followed by a 30 second burst at the maximum speed for your
appliance, to enable safer, more efficient water extraction.
Dry Spin:
There will be a 2 minute spin about 20 minutes after the drying programme has started; this improves the drying performance.
