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 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 Temperature Control The Auto Temperature Control system on this washer electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. Using Auto Temperature Control will help dissolve detergent. Washer Impeller System Your new washer works differently than most washers that you may be 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, fabric softener, laundry boosters, or oxi. 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. High Efficiency (HE) Detergent This washer is designed for High Efficiency (HE) detergent use only. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds and give the best performance in low water wash systems. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent Features Innovative Features Your new washer includes these features that help to reduce noise, increase the ease of use, and improve wash performance. 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. Suspension System To reduce washer "vibration," "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 Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ Cycle This washer features an easy-to-use Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle that thoroughly cleans the inside of your washing machine using higher water volumes in combination with AFFRESH® washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. The use of AFFRESH® washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and help avoid odor-causing residue. Stainless Steel Basket The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time. Self-clean Wash and Rinse Filter 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. End Signal - Off - On The End 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. Water Save Spray Rinse This washer is designed to have the option of saving water by using a spray rinse instead of a deep water rinse. This option is the default setting on some cycles. The option is selectable on other cycles. When using fabric softener, always select the Fabric Softener button, or select Extra Rinse; both of these options will dispense fabric softener in a deep rinse. 4
