FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Detergent Advantage System Dispenser
The four compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all
laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will
be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high
performance cleaning. Aimed bleach release is included in the
detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the
beginning of the cycle and the bleach is added after the enzymes
have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is
dispensed in the rinse cycle. The Detergent Advantage System
Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. Because only the required amount of water is used, the
washer saves energy, too.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such
as an average size sleeping bag. 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.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to
give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The
motor can handle slow speeds needed for wool and delicate
items, but it is powerful enough to handle a large clothes load.
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 based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to six different spin speed choices.
Thermal Optimizer
The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the
preset temperature for Heavy Duty, White/Cotton, Sanitary, and
the Soil Treat option. It also provides “stepped cleaning” when
using the Sanitary cycle or the Soil Treat option. “Stepped
cleaning” starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains
(such as blood or grass). The water continues heating in order to
remove stains such as dirty mechanical oil.
Add A Garment
When lighted, Rapid Wash, Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, White/
Cotton, and Sanitary can be paused and the door unlocked so
you can add a garment that may have been forgotten when
loading the washer. The ADD A GARMENT status message is
displayed for up to the first 8 minutes of a cycle and then the
LOCKED message will be displayed.
Direct Detergent Injection
A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes
into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing
stains from your clothes without pretreating.
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.
