Unbalance detection system especially for FX range

Ultra Balance Technology

o Anti-vibration system -> Ultra Balance detects any unbalance and adapts the spin speed accordingly

o Weighning system -> automatic adjusting of water level and soap dosage according to a measured weight of the load

Advantages: the machine is optimally protected against unbalances,

which results in a longer lifetime the noise level is reduced even more optimised stability during the entire cycle lower water and detergents consumption
