FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to
conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The
washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of
water needed for the best performance. The time of operation
may be greater for this new system than for a conventional
washer.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results
with smaller amounts of laundry products. Because only the
required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too.
You can obtain the same washing results for small and large load
sizes.
Larger Loa d Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such
as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a
pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
Suspension System
To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new
washer combines:
■ 2 Springs to isolate vibration
■
3 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless Steel Drum
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher
spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
A d aptive Varia b le Spee d Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to
give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The
motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is
powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-
speed spin.
Spin Spee d s
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be
changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin
speed choices.
A dd A Garment
This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin,
Drain/Spin, and Clean Washer. When this option is available at the
beginning of the cycle, the Add A Garment status light will
illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute
period in which other garments may be added to a load.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high-
speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out
of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load
machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-
balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that
they are evenly balanced.
Smart Dispensers
The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all
laundry products before the washer is started. The products will
be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-
performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included in
the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the
beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the enzymes
have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is
dispensed in the rinse cycle or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected.
The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily
removed for cleaning.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
