Capacity & Load Handling

• Washing capacity: 12 kg — suited for large families or bulk loads like blankets, duvets, towels, and everyday clothes.

• Drying capacity: 8 kg condensing dryer — enough for most washed items, though you may dry smaller loads than you wash at once.

• Drum volume: ~72 litres, offering roomy interior space for bulky laundry.

This capacity means you can wash large loads in fewer cycles, saving both time and utilities compared to repeated smaller loads.

Performance & Technology

The machine offers 14 wash and dry programs, such as cotton, delicate, wool, sterilization, down jacket, quick wash, and tub clean, giving you flexibility for different fabrics and laundry needs. Selectable variable spin speeds (up to ~1400 rpm) and multiple temperature settings (cold up to 96 °C) help tailor each cycle for optimal cleaning.

Key performance features include:

• Intelligent washing system with load detection and auto-balance to optimise water, time, and energy usage;

• Foam sensing & removal for thorough rinsing;

• Hot & cold water options for better stain removal and fabric care;

• Auto restart after power interruptions.

Efficiency & Practical Features

• Water consumption: ~65 L per wash cycle — reasonable for large capacity machines.

• Energy use: ~1.25 kWh per cycle, typical for wash-and-dry combos.

• Noise levels: ~50 dBA washing, ~72 dBA spinning — moderate and suitable for household settings.

Convenience extras also include a child lock, delay timer (3–24 hrs), and wide 150° door opening for easier loading.
