High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves you time by allowing you to do fewer,
larger loads. It also conserves resources and lowers your water and energy bills by using the
following innovations.
INTELLIfILL™ Water Level Control
This washer senses the load size and composition through a series of fills and wash motion.
It then adjusts the water level for the best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the
guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not completely submerged in
water. This is normal for your washer.
Auto Temperature Control
The Auto Temperature Control system on this washer electronically senses and maintains
a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Auto
Temperature Control will help dissolve detergent.
Washer Impeller System
Your new washer works differently than most washers that you may be accustomed to. The
most striking difference is that the washer has a washer impeller system. It uses this new
innovative washer impeller at the bottom of the wash basket to move your load through a
mixture of water and detergent. The load is moved from the outside toward the middle with
items coming up in the center and down on the outside edges.
Dispensers
The 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 added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Spin Speeds
This washer is preset to automatically select the spin speed based on the cycle selected.
Depending on your wash load, you can change the preset speeds. The spin speed on this
washer is nearly twice as fast as that of a conventional washer. You may notice different
sounds during a spin cycle because of this higher speed.
High Efficiency (HE) Detergent
This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use only. HE detergents are made to
produce the right amount of suds and give the best performance in low water wash systems.

BENEfITS AND fEATURES

Your washer has several benefits and features which are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.

Benefits

Innovative features
Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce noise, increase the ease of use,
and improve wash performance.
Electronic Controls
Electronic controls with preset cycles are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an
"expert."
Quiet Operation
This washer is insulated with sound-dampening materials to reduce washer operation sounds
and noises.
Suspension System
To reduce washer "vibration," "walk," and "out of balance" conditions, your new washer
combines:
4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration
■
Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket to minimize vibration
■
Operating software designed to sense and correct off-balance loads
■
Clean Washer with AffRESH Cycle
™
This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer with AFFRESH
cleans the inside of your washing machine using higher water volumes in combination with
AFFRESH™ washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. The use of AFFRESH
liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and help avoid odor-causing residue.
Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables higher spin speeds for more water
extraction, reducing drying time.
Self-clean Wash and Rinse filter System
This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water is filtered then recirculated.
The force filter traps sand and dirt, flushing them down the drain, so they are not redeposited
onto the clean clothes.
End Signal - Off - Low - Hi
The End Signal produces an audible sound when the wash cycle is finished. This signal is
helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops.
Water Save Spray Rinse
This washer is designed to have the option of saving water by using a spray rinse instead of a
deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on some cycles. The option is selectable on
other cycles. When using fabric softener, always select the Fabric Softener button, or select
Extra Rinse; both of these options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse.
