It features a front-load design and incorporates safety mechanisms to ensure proper and secure operation. The appliance is intended for use in households and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast environments, and communal laundrettes.
Key functions include:
- Washing Programs: A diverse selection of programs tailored for different fabric types and soil levels, including Cotton, Cotton Color, Eco 40-60, Mix, Wool, Dark Wash, Sportswear, Down, Silk/Delicates, Quick 15', Allergy Steam, Baby Steam Care, Rinse+Spin, and Spin.
- Steam Functions: "Allergy Steam" for high-temperature resistant and less fading fabrics to remove allergens, and "Baby Steam Care" for sterilizing and disinfecting baby clothes and underwear.
- Spin Cycle: Adjustable spin speeds, with a maximum of 1000 rpm, to optimize moisture removal.
- Temperature Control: Programs have default temperatures, which can be adjusted as needed.
