Auto Wash and PureJet cleaning: Auto Wash automatically senses the weight of your load and adjusts the cycle duration and rinsing times accordingly, so every wash is tailored to what is actually in the drum. PureJet delivers high-pressure water jets that dissolve detergent thoroughly and work on tougher stains without the need for extra pre-treatment. SteamTech and Hygiene Guard: SteamTech generates steam within the drum to treat allergens, freshen fabrics, and tackle ingrained staining. Hygiene Guard combines an antibacterial door seal with PureJet jets to keep the door bellows clean between cycles, reducing the build-up of bacteria and odours over time. Quiet motor and practical extras: The Inverter PowerDrive motor runs quietly and without brushes, reducing mechanical wear for longer-term reliability. The Pause and Add function lets you add forgotten items within the first 10 minutes of a cycle, while Delay End allows you to schedule the wash to finish at a time that suits you, up to 24 hours ahead.
