2D Shower System

This adds dynamic movement to the water through nozzles and circulates the water 360° in the drum. When this happens, the detergent dissolves completely in the water so they penetrate your clothes better. During rinsing, freshwater penetrates deep into the clothes to wash off all traces of detergent. The clothes come out cleaner and fresher.

What this means for you: You get a cleaner wash every time because the water dissolves the detergent 100% for deeper penetration and during rinsing, all the detergent is thoroughly washed off by fresher water.

3D Wash System

This works a great deal like the 2D Shower System, except there are more nozzles so water enters the drum from three sides instead of two. The rest of the functioning is similar.

What this means for you: See 2D Shower System

4D Wash System

A more comprehensive wash system that uses a combination of dynamic water jets and showers from paddles so you can get the best possible wash with the complete soaking of clothes as well as optimal dissolving of detergent.

What this means for you: A system that improves upon the 3D Wash System to give you a cleaner, fresher clothes after every wash.

A

Air Bubble Wash System

Millions of air bubbles get generated and released into the water. They penetrate deep into the cloth fibres, activate the detergent and help to release the most stubborn dirt molecules. The Air Bubble Wash System infuses freshness into clothes and ensures a perfect wash.

What this means for you: Yet another washing technique employed by IFB, generates air bubbles in the water so that they can go deeper into your clothes and activate the detergent against stubborn dirt molecules.

Aqua Energie

A built-in aqua filter treats hard water by breaking up the bicarbonates into bicrystals before it is released into the washing machine. These crystals are very minuscule and float with the water instead of forming crusts, so your clothes get only soft water and wash better. Also, scaling on machine components is reduced.

What this means for you: Your clothes are only washed in water that has been softened so they wash better without any hard water staining. Plus, the internal components of the machine are more durable because there is no hard water to form crusts on them.

Auto Imbalance System

When there is an unbalanced load in the washing machine, it redistributes to evenly distribute the load inside the drum. During this process, the washing machine will start and stop during rotation cycles as it balances the load.

What this means for you: The washing machine balances the load on its own, so there are no error messages and the entire operation is carried out efficiently.

Anti Allergen

Removes lint and hair from your clothes while washing them, giving you fresh, clean, lint-free clothes that help prevent allergies.

What this means for you: Fresher, cleaner, allergen-free clothes after every wash.

This shakes even the most stubborn stains to loosen dirt molecules and rinse them away in a manner that is gentle on your clothes.

What this means for you: Your clothes receive a gentle treatment in spite of an aggressive wash inside the machine, so there is no damage to them and the wash is thorough. 

Auto Softener Dispenser

What this means for you: Your delicates receive the softener automatically when you add softener to the special dispenser so there is no damage to them.

B

Ball Valve Technology

In most washing machines, the detergent simply gets washed away when water enters the drum and it is not used in the wash cycle. However, IFB”s ball valve technology makes sure the detergent is correctly dosed into the machine so there is no wastage.

Bleach Dispenser

For clothes that need bleaching, the Bleach Dispenser adds liquid bleach to the drum for optimum distribution.

What this means for you: The bleach dispenser is a handy way to add bleach to your clothes inside the washing machine during the wash cycle instead of adding it separately after the wash.

Clothes rotate horizontally but tumble vertically to give a clean 360° wash.

What this means for you: Clothes follow a 4-way rotation and tumble routine in the drum so they are thoroughly washed and the dirt is loosened away.
