PRODUCT OPERATION FEATURES AND BENEFITS The front-loading high efficiency washer was designed to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer. ELECTRONIC CONTROLS Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert. 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. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results with smaller amounts of additives. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for small and large loads size. 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. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear. SUSPENSION SYSTEM To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new washer combines: • 2 Springs to isolate vibration • 3 or 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 delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to a high-speed spin. SPIN SPEEDS This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices. ADD A GARMENT This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin and Drain/Spin. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the Add A Garment status light will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load. DYNAMIC BALANCE A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high-speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced. 3-1
