FEATURES

FUZZY CONTROL
Fuzzy control operates with best washing course
by sensing the washload like artificial intelligence.
TRANSPARENT WINDOW
This Transparent Window is the new concept to solve the curiosity
of users to see inside of washing machine while operation. While operation, the laundry progress inside of washing machine can be checked by looking through the transparent window.
PULSATOR
The Pulsator helps water and detergent to go through fabrics efficiently
while providing both the powerful water action to clean larger and heavier clothes and the gentle water action to clean all delicates with less wear and tear on clothes.
WATERFALL FLOW
The Waterfall Flow injected from under the pulsator cascades with full force back into the tub,
pushing down any clothes that float right under the water surface. It is this Waterfall Flow that enables this washing machine to effectively wash large and heavy items, such as bluejeans and blankets.
MAGIC FILTER
This unique magic Filter ensures that all the lint inside the tub is captured for top quality filtering
results to deliver consistently effective cleaning results.
SOFTENER DISPENSER
The Softener Dispenser releases the fabric
softener at the appropriate time when the last rinsing proceeds.
