The PremiumCare washing machine combines a clear design with new technology which promises gentle laundry care without creasing. A large, stainless steel porthole door and a centrally located touch-operated user interface in the same colour characterise the front of the machine. Due to the ZEN motor with direct drive located in the washing machine interior, the appliance runs particularly quietly and with minimum vibration. Jets located directly in the drum provide a premix of water and detergent which is sprayed on the laundry, thus reducing water consumption.
