Structural Features:

  • ProSteam — steam injected at end of cycle to refresh clothes, reduce wrinkles and odors
  • ProSense — automatic load weighing; adjusts water, time, and energy accordingly
  • AquaControl Plus — dual inlet + floor sensor; auto-stops water if leak detected
  • Anti-Vibration Design (SoftSpikes) — reduces vibration by up to 28%
  • Time Manager — adjust cycle duration to fit your schedule (20%-100% time reduction)
  • Woolmark Green certified — safe for hand-wash-only wool garments
  • Foam detection system — reduces rinse cycles if excess foam detected
  • Child lock — prevents accidental program changes
  • Residual water display — shows remaining water in drum after cycle

Working Principle:
Front-loader tumbles clothes in a horizontal stainless steel drum partially filled with water. The motor drives the drum through a belt (or direct drive in some variants), lifting clothes and dropping them through the water for mechanical cleaning. ProSteam injects saturated steam into the drum at the end of the rinse, relaxing fibers to remove wrinkles. ProSense uses pressure sensors to weigh the load and calculates optimal water volume. At 1200 RPM, centrifugal force expels water through drum perforations.

Key Advantages:

  • A+++ energy rating — lowest consumption class
  • ProSteam — reduces ironing by up to 50%
  • ProSense auto-weigh — saves water and energy on small loads
  • AquaControl anti-flood — total peace of mind
  • 14-minute Quick Wash — for lightly soiled items
  • Woolmark Green — trusted wool care certification
  • SoftSpikes anti-vibration — stable even at 1200 RPM

Applicable Industries / Use Cases:
Household laundry, apartments, small families, student housing, holiday homes

Installation Requirements:

  • Place on a flat, rigid, level floor — must support 66kg + water (~75kg total)
  • Water supply: Cold water only, 1/2″ BSP thread, pressure 0.5-10 bar
  • Drain: Standard 22mm or 32mm drain hose, maximum drain height 90cm from floor
  • Power: Standard 10A-13A socket (220-240V) with earth
  • Leave 5cm gap behind machine for hoses
  • Transport bolts must be removed before first use (4 bolts at rear)
  • Level using adjustable feet — use spirit level on top of machine

Usage Precautions:

  • Remove all transport bolts before first use — failure to do so will destroy the machine
  • Use only HE (High Efficiency) or low-sudsing detergent — front-loaders are sensitive to foam
  • Do not overload — max 7kg; for bulky items (duvets) reduce to 4kg
  • Clean door gasket and filter monthly
  • Leave door slightly ajar after each wash to prevent mold/odor
  • Run Drum Clean cycle monthly with washing machine cleaner
  • Do not use fabric softener in the main wash compartment (use softener drawer only)
  • Check and clean the drain pump filter every 3 months (access via front panel at bottom-right)
