BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Your washer has several benefits and features which are summarized here. Some items may
not apply to your model.
Benefits
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 also 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 Temp Control
The Auto Temp Control system on this washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform
water temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Auto Temp Control will
help dissolve detergent.
Washer Impeller System
Your new washer works differently than most washers that you are 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
