Key Features

1. Super Drum

The machine features a ‘Super Drum’ with a diameter of 525 mm, which is larger than standard drums. This design allows for more space for clothes to move freely, resulting in better cleaning performance and reduced fabric wear. The spacious drum also facilitates the washing of bulky items like blankets and curtains with ease.

2. Inverter Motor

Equipped with an inverter motor, the washing machine ensures energy-efficient operation and reduced noise levels. The inverter technology adjusts the motor’s speed according to the load, leading to optimal performance and longevity. This results in quieter cycles and lower electricity consumption, contributing to cost savings over time.

3. Refresh Function

The ‘Refresh’ feature utilizes steam to eliminate odors and reduce wrinkles from clothes without the need for a full wash cycle. This function is particularly useful for refreshing lightly worn garments or items that have been stored for a while, saving time and preserving fabric quality.

4. Wi-Fi Connectivity

With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, users can control and monitor the washing machine remotely through a smartphone application. This feature allows for convenient scheduling of wash cycles, monitoring of progress, and receiving notifications, enhancing the overall user experience.

5. Anti-Bacterial Technology (ABT)

The machine incorporates Anti-Bacterial Treatment in critical areas such as the gasket and detergent dispenser. This prevents the growth of mold and bacteria, maintaining hygiene and ensuring that clothes remain fresh after each wash.

6. Dual Spray

The ‘Dual Spray’ system enhances cleaning efficiency by delivering powerful water jets from multiple angles. This mechanism ensures thorough rinsing of detergent residues and effectively removes stubborn stains, resulting in cleaner and fresher clothes.

7. Pillow Drum

Featuring a ‘Pillow Drum’ design, the washing machine minimizes friction between the drum and clothes. The pillow-shaped drum surface ensures gentle handling of fabrics, reducing wear and tear, and preserving the quality of garments over time.

8. High Spin Speed

With a spin speed of up to 1200 RPM, the machine efficiently extracts water from clothes during the spin cycle. This high spin speed reduces drying time, making the laundry process more efficient, especially for thick or heavy fabrics.

9. Energy Efficiency

The appliance holds a 5-star energy rating, indicating superior energy efficiency. This rating ensures that the machine consumes less electricity, leading to cost savings on utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint.

These programs include settings for cotton, synthetics, mix, allergen, baby care, daily, delicate, refresh, quick 15, sportswear, jeans, duvet, self-clean, and shirts, allowing users to customize the wash process according to their specific needs.
