washing your first load of laundry.

Special features
▯ Load adjust matches the water and power
consumption to each cycle according to the amount of
laundry sensed in the drum and the type of fabric.
The load adjust function runs automatically to keep
energy and water consumption as low as possible.
The water level sensor ensures the water level is
correct for the laundry and the cycle selected.
▯ The automatic unbalanced load detection system
spins the laundry several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the laundry is unevenly distributed, the spin speed is
reduced, or the laundry may not be spun for reasons
of safety.
In the Wool cycle, the spin cycle is attempted only
twice in order to prevent felting.
