Washer doesn't operate while the lid is open. If the lid is open during the wash, rinse or spin cycles, the operation stops for safety.

Fuzzy Logic Control

A built-in load sensor automatically detects and measures the laundry load and a microprocessor optimizes washing conditions such as ideal water level, washing time and optimum detergent quantity indication.

Advanced technology is built into the Electronic Control System which ensures the best washing result.
