Features And Benefits - Whirlpool duet Front-Load Washer Use And Care Manual

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 detergent, fabric softener, and
bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones, 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 best 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 like a
king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at
one time, which means fewer loads.
Suspension System
To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new
washer combines:
2 Springs to isolate vibration
4 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.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, and 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 four different spin speed choices.
ACCUWASH™ Automatic Temperature Control
The ACCUWASH™ control electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ACCUWASH control regulates
incoming hot and cold water. ACCUWASH control is
automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.
Add A Garment
At the beginning of a cycle, this washer allows an 8-minute
period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load
without waiting for the door to unlock. The ADD A GARMENT
status light will glow during this 8-minute period.

CATALYST Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers
to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the additives
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.
Efficient Detergent System
This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the
wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and
detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent
System insures that no water or detergent is wasted.
Dynamic Off-Balance Detection
This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount
of off-balance within the load. The suspension system and
controls are specially designed to redistribute the load
automatically.
