FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Smart Dispensers
The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This
washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes
separate compartments for main wash detergent, fabric softener,
and bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones. The dispenser is
self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. Laundry products are
diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time
in the wash cycle.
Auto Water Level
This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning
and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load
composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water
level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water
level is just right for every wash load size.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such
as a king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more
clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.
Stainless Steel Drum
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher
spin speeds for more water extraction, helping to reduce drying
time compared to traditional top-load washers.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads. It also lowers your water and energy bills by
helping conserve resources.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to five different spin speed choices.
Heating Element
This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the
water to the optimal temperature on select cycles. This enables
stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water is brought in
and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. Stepped
cleaning starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains
(such as blood and grass).
Auto Load Sensing Technology
Intuitive intelligence "knows every load" determining load sizes,
water levels, and how much cleaning time is needed.
Add Clothes
When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the
Add Clothes Status Light will glow for the first 8 minutes. This
washer allows an 8-minute period in which other garments may
be added to a load.
Direct Injection Wash System
This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers
to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the laundry
products before they touch any garments. The water is then
sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing
even distribution and optimum cleaning performance. It is normal
for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the
wash cycle is complete.
