BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Your washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.
Benefits
Auto Water Level
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.
Care Control Temperature Management
The Care Control Temperature Management system on this
washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water
temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using
Care Control will help dissolve detergent.
Deep Clean Cleaning Action
The Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to help
ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces the
need for pretreatment. The washer fills to a low level, wetting the
clothes and dissolving the detergent. The detergent mixture is
then sprayed onto the load while the washer spins at low speed.
This cleaning action will last up to 10 minutes depending on the
cy
cle selected. The washer then stops spinning, fills with water to
the appropriate level and continues washing with the selected
cycle.
Features
Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce
noise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.
6th Sense™ Technology
6th Sense™ Technology features built-in intelligence that “knows
each wash load” for optimal cleaning, fabric care and efficiency.
From weighing the size of the load to determining how much
water is needed to clean it, the 6th Sense™ combination of
intuitive features takes the guesswork out of clothes care. Three
levels of off-balance protection and a suds detection sensor help
ensure worry- and error-free operation for further peace of mind.
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. On some models,
an additional tub wrap is added for superb vibration- and sound-
dampening.
Suspension System
To reduce washer “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
Stainless Steel Basket
The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables
higher spin speeds for more water extraction than traditional top-
load washers, reducing drying time.
Force Filter Wash/Rinse 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.
Delay Wash
Delay Wash allows you to load your washer and pause the start of
the cycle for up to 8 hours.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle 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.
