Smooth Balance™ 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 Commercial Quality Stainless Steel Drum The commercial quality stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time compared to traditional front-load washers. High-Efficiency Wash System Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, and 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 help remove stains (such as blood and grass). This heater is active in the Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty, Normal/Casual, and Power Wash cycles. Automatic Temperature Control The automatic temperature control electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature. Automatic temperature control regulates incoming hot and cold water. Automatic temperature control is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected. Add Clothes Clothes can be added to the load during the first 8 minutes of the cycle. During this time,  the Status Indicator will indicate it is okay to add clothes. Special Cleaning Action with Sensi-Care™ 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 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. 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. WASHER USE NOTE: The panel shown above may be different from that of your model. 13
