"A fully automatic washing machine for more demanding requirements" – this was how the new Siemens Siwamat-S automatic washing machine was advertised in 1969. And with 15 fully automatic programs for all types of laundry, it was also equal to this claim. A caustic solution cooling system prevented wrinkles, suppressed the formation of steam and protected the plastic pipes from hot waste water. With just two rotary knobs and a program table, the automatic washing machine could not have been easier to operate. The Siwamat-S had a stainless steel drum and was able to spin the laundry at a speed of 500 revolutions. The anti-fluff drain pump eliminated the need for maintenance with a lint filter. The Siwamat-S had a motor protection function, which protected the motor from overheating and therefore from total breakdown. A new feature was added to protect against poor water flow, which automatically switched off the washing machine if there was no water – laundry damage caused by a lack of water was therefore a thing of the past. A safety feature prevented the porthole from being opened during operation, while adjustable feet counterbalanced any unevenness in the floor.
