FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
Flexible Elec'_onic 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. It is
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
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
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
• 4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless Steel Drum
The Stain]ass 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, conserves resources and lowers your water
and energy bills too.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed base_ on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed,'however..
This washer offers up to six different spin speed choices.
Heating Element and Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC)
This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the
water to the best temperature on select cyclas. This enables
stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water is brought in
and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. The
warm water cleans stains such as blood and eggs, and the
heated water removes stains such as perspiration and dirty
mechanical oil. This heater is active in the Stain Treat and
Sanitary cycles.
Dispenser Drawer
This washer provides a four-comparfment dispenser which
includes separate compartments for main wash detergent, fabric
softener, bleach, and auto prewash or auto soak. The dispenser
has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and can be easily
removed.
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.
Direct Injec'don
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.
Eco Valve
This washer has a speciany 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 Eco Valve insuresthat
no water or detergent is wasted.
Off-Balance Detection and Correction
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.
