Features And Benefits - Whirlpool Duet Steam FRONT-LOADING AUTOMATIC WASHER Use & Care Manual

The wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine
washable Woolmark products provided that the
garments are washed according to the instructions
on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine, M0706.
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 four-compartment dispenser which includes
separate compartments for High Efficiency "HE" detergent, fabric
softener, liquid chlorine bleach and oxygen based stain fighters
or color-safe bleach. The dispenser can easily be removed for
cleaning. Laundry products are dispensed automatically at the
proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you
to return to the washer during the cycle to add them and ensuring
that these cleaning products perform their very best.
Deep Clean with Steam
This washer has a built-in steaming unit which is combined with
the DEEP CLEAN option to provide multiple temperatures to help
remove a variety of stains from garments.
Oxi / Color-safe Bleach Dispenser
With the Oxi / Color-safe bleach dispenser, there is no need to
come back and add your oxygen based stain fighter or your
color-safe bleach. Delaying the introduction of these products
helps remove many stains better.
Clean Washer Cycle with Steam
This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the unit and
makes the washer self-cleaning, flushing the machine's interior
free of dirt and other residue. The use of AFFRESH™ washer
cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and
help avoid odor-causing residue.
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.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

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).
6th Sense™ Intuitive Controls
Intuitive intelligence "knows every load" determining load sizes,
water levels and how much cleaning time is needed.
Add A Garment
When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the
Add a garment Status Light will glow for the first 4-8 minutes.
This washer allows a 4-8 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.
Efficient Detergent System with Anti-Escape Valve
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 ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.
6-Point Suspension System
Shock absorbers, 2 springs and electronic controls are specially
designed to help redistribute the load automatically and minimize
movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle. The 6-Point
Suspension System reduces the amount of force transmitted to
the floor by the washer, resulting in reduced noise and vibration.
