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.
