Heat Pump Washer Dryer

Innovative Japanese technologies for optimal wash performance. Meet the ultimate washer-dryer featuring the latest washing technology that is the pride of Japan. The ActiveFoam System, a unique technology only from Panasonic, generates high-density foam to provide unrivalled washing performance. Now you can enjoy amazing stain removal, the ultimate in energy saving, and easier-than-ever operation.

Features

Highly concentrated foam maximizes effectiveness of detergent

The ActiveFoam System turns detergent into fine foam that completely surrounds clothes. The fine foam, the more surface area they have, helping surfactants in detergent surround and lift dirt.
1) High-density foam attaches to dirt
2) ActiveFoam penetrates deep into fibers and dirt
3) Dirt is lifted from clothes to enable easier removal

The level of foaming depends on conditions such as load size, degree of soiling, detergent type, and water pressure. However, there is no change in washing performance.

Unprecedented Washing Power

Active Foam System offers unprecedented washing power with 3 types of power combination:

1. Foam Creation

The Foam Generator produces foam, while the washing process creates concentrated foam.

2. HydroActive 7 Shower

7 showers blast from all directions soaking the foam every part of clothes deeply, and wrap and lift dirt.

3. Dancing Wash System

Drum uses three distinct motions to help separate and eliminate dirt.

How the ActiveFoam SYSTEM works

1) Detergent water flows into the foam generator

2) Jets of air from below generate foam

3) Foam is poured onto laundry from above

Wash modes for an improved ActiveFoam effect

Power Wash
Washes slowly with double-concentrated detergent - Prewash cycle uses penetrating jet shower to eliminate surface dirt, then main wash cycle beats and massages clothing to clean extra-deep

Gentle Hand Wash
Gently and effectively washes delicate clothes - Reduces drum movement and gently shakes clothes for delicate washing.

15 ºC Wash
When the water temperature falls below 13ºC, the heater automatically comes on and the water temperature rises.

40 ºC Wash
Since 37 ºC or higher is needed to dissolve sebum, this mode heats washing water to approx. 40 ºC to eliminate sebum and provides deep cleaning.

60 ºC Bacteria Elimination
Heating washing water to 60 ºC enhances power of whitening agents in detergent, making whites whiter and enhancing hygiene.

Heat Pump Dry

Advanced environmental-friendly device that delivers high efficiency drying.

Powerful - yet eco and gentle. It uses refrigerant to transfer thermal energy from the atmosphere for recycling in a closed circuit system to dramatically reduce water and electricity consumption with less time.

Mechanism of heat pump drying

Heat pump drying is completely different from heater drying. Operating on the same principle as an air conditioner when heating, it uses a refrigerant to transfer thermal energy from the atmosphere.

1) Air is dehumidified and gently heated.
2) The dry, warm air is sent into the drum.
3) The moisture in the clothing is removed and carried to the heat pump unit.
4) The moist air is cooled and dehumidified.

Items can be taken out even during drying. The temperature inside the drum doesn't rise too high so you can press the Pause button and take items out without waiting.

Gentle drying with less damage to laundry

Using dry, hot air at about 65°C instead of high-temperature air from a heater, Heat Pump Dry dries with less damage, shrinkage and deformation. Plus, high volume of air from rear of wide drum dries effectively and fluffs up laundry!

When the pile of towels are dried in the sun, which tend to be flat and become hard. Drying with the low-temperature air of Heat Pump Dry leaves the pile standing up from the bottom for a fluffy finish.

Hygiene - 4 automatic maintenance cycles

1. Auto Tub Clean
Spinning the drum at high speed forcefully eliminates water, ensuring any remaining detergent is removed from both the inside and outside of the tub.

2. Mold Prevention Drum
Water spray during spin cycle cleans drum again.

3. nanoe Tub Clean
Cleaning the entire drum with nanoe ions helps further prevent mold.

4. Auto Self-Cleaning Condenser
Small fibers adhering to the heat exchange unit are washed away to maintain optimal drying performance.

Easiness of Use

Full-color touch control panel is easy to use from your first wash. The screen size, screen angle, and background color are all designed for ease of use. The display always tells you what to do next, combining high functionality with intuitive operation, including operational guide and error guide.

Stylish Design

Stylish, environmentally responsible design
Instead of the white color of conventional washer-dryers, Panasonic’s model features a modern and stylish color palette featuring darker hues. Black areas incorporate recycled plastic to help conserve resources and protect the environment.

Easy-open/close door
For easy access by people of all ages and strength levels, the door opens and closes with a light touch. It is also easy to confirm whether the door is locked. Advanced design has led to extra convenience!

Wide drum in slim body

The slim approx. 60 cm body easily fits in narrow areas. Yet, 35 cm large drum inlet for easier loading/removing big items such as comforter.

SAZANAMI Drum
The unique drum surface is designed to rub clothes for enhanced cleaning results. While maintaining high spin-drying performance, the drum also minimizes damage to fabrics.

Anti-vibration design for quiet operation

The model is designed to hold the wide drum firmly in place and minimize vibrations. The result is extremely quiet operation.
