Intelligent Fabric Care with DualCare System
The DualCare System takes the guesswork out of laundry care by automatically adjusting wash cycles to match your fabric types. Whether you’re washing cottons, synthetics or delicate wool, this intelligent system selects the optimal temperature and drum movements to protect your clothes whilst delivering excellent cleaning results. You can wash and dry selected programmes in one continuous cycle, eliminating the need to transfer wet laundry between machines.
ProSense® Technology for Efficient Washing
ProSense® technology measures the size of each load and automatically adjusts the washing time, energy consumption and water usage to match. This means you’re never using more resources than necessary, whether you’re washing a full 8kg load or just a few items. The system optimises every cycle for efficiency without compromising on cleaning performance.
Versatile Drying Options
Choose from three automatic drying levels – iron dry, cupboard dry or extra dry – depending on your needs. The 4kg drying capacity handles everything from everyday cottons to delicate synthetics and wool. The condenser dryer design captures moisture and drains it away, so there’s no need for external venting.
Specialised Programmes for Every Fabric
The silk programme provides a gentle wash with an adapted spin cycle, perfect for caring for delicate silk items. The Wash&Dry 60 feature offers remarkable convenience, washing clothes in just 20 minutes or completing a full wash and dry cycle for a 1kg mixed load in one hour. With 14 different programmes including steam, duvet and Eco 40-60, you’ll find the right setting for any laundry challenge.
Advanced Safety and Reliability
Aqua Control monitors water levels continuously to detect any leakage, providing peace of mind and protection for your home. The Inverter Motor+ delivers powerful, reliable performance whilst the 1600rpm maximum spin speed removes more water, reducing drying time. With a B-rated noise level and 52-litre drum volume, this washer dryer balances performance with practical everyday use.
Questions & Answers
-
The EWDK5846B can wash up to 8kg of laundry in a single cycle, but the drying capacity is 4kg. This means if you wash a full 8kg load, you'll need to dry it in two separate 4kg batches, or you can wash and dry up to 4kg in one continuous cycle using the combined wash and dry programmes.
-
ProSense® technology uses sensors to measure the size of your laundry load at the start of each cycle. It then automatically adjusts the washing time, water consumption and energy usage to match the actual load size, ensuring efficient operation whether you're washing a full 8kg load or just a few items.
-
The DualCare System allows you to wash and dry cottons, synthetics and wool in one continuous cycle. The system automatically adjusts the temperature and drum movements to suit each fabric type, providing optimal care throughout both the washing and drying process.
-
The condenser dryer captures moisture from your clothes during the drying cycle, condenses it into water, and drains it away through your plumbing. This means you don't need an external vent or window outlet - the washer dryer simply connects to your water supply and drainage like a standard washing machine.
-
Aqua Control is a safety system that continuously monitors the water level inside the machine throughout the wash and dry cycles. If it detects any water leakage or unusual water level changes, it alerts you to the issue, helping to prevent water damage to your home.
