Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Drum size (kg)	5
Energy Efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
Number of Programmes	15
The number of different programmes available on this machine that you can choose from
Colour	Cream
The main colour of the product.
Height in cm	89
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Width in cm	59.5
Depth in cm	61.5

Energy Savings Trust Feature	No
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
Spin Efficiency	A
The more efficient the spin, the more water will be extracted from your washing which means it will need less time in the dryer or less time on the line. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products the least efficient.

Display of Remaining Time	No

Child-Lock	No
A mechanism that makes it difficult for children to open the machine during operation.
Half-Load	No
When washing only a few items, the half-load feature uses less water which will save time, energy and of course water.
