This A-rated washing machine cleans brilliantly whilst using 20%** less energy. Good for you, your laundry and the environment. Maintain hygiene and freshness in the most natural way with the Steam Pack. The Steam Hygiene & Steam Refresh cycles provide the ultimate care and protection for keeping your laundry fresh and perfectly clean. Steam Refresh provides a dedicated cycle to freshen clothes without the need for a full wash. The cycle takes just 20 minutes with steam penetrating deep into fabrics, making them slightly damp, reducing creases for easier ironing. The Steam Hygiene cycle provides the ultimate care and protection for a totally hygienic wash. Steam hygiene injects steam directly into the drum at the end of the cycle, removing up to 99.9%*** of the most common bacteria without the use of chemical additives. You can also choose either to speed up the cycle or save energy thanks to the Rapid | Eco option. With the Rapid option, the wash duration is reduced by up to 50%, without compromising on washing results. With the Eco option, the washing machine reduces energy consumption by up to 20%, making it gentle on your pocket. *Compared to Hotpoint washers without ActiveCare.**On use of the Eco 40-60 cycle and compared to the minimum required to be considered A class.
