Automatic Features

Intelligent Care:

Your appliance has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load,avoiding excessive vibration and prolonging
the life of the appliance.

Pulse Spin:

Helps reduce wear and tear on your laundry.
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.

NOTE: This feature will not operate if you have selected a combined Wash & Auto Dry Programme for synthetic fabrics.
