Your new front-loading high efficiency washeb was help conserve 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 laundry products. 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 agitatob you can wash largeb 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 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement Stainless Steel Drum The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion extraction, helping to reduce drying time. and enables higher spin speeds for more water 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 high-speed spin. 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 three different spin speed choices. Thermal Optimizer The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for Super Wash, Whites, and Sanitary cycles. It also provides "Stepped Cleaning" when using the Sanitary cycle. "Stepped Cleaning" starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains (such as blood or grass). The Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.9% of K. pneumonia, R aureginosa and S. aureus, which are three common infectious bacteria. Only sanitary cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF protocol P1 72 for sanitizing efficiency. Certified to Sanitize Add A Garment This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse & Spin, Spin Only, and Clean Washer. 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 other garments may be added to a load. Dynamic Balance A precision balancing system that 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. Detergent Advantage System Dispenser The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the washer is started. The products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for highperformance cleaning. The bleach release system 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 or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray can be easily removed for cleaning. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
