The matching tumble dryer for the washing machine also features a large glass door, providing clear visibility of the contents at all times. The elevated position of the door handle makes backache when loading and unloading a thing of the past. Thanks to a generously proportioned LCD display and TouchControl buttons (easy to clean) it is a very simple matter to enter all the desired settings, especially with the programs shown in plain text. With the 7 kg large-capacity drum and the novel softDry system, comprising an innovative drum structure (“air cushion”) and new curved agitator paddles, laundry is treated more gently and efficiently.
