FEATURES AND BENEFITS Electronic Controls Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert. High-Efficiency Wash System Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads. It also lowers your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources. Smart Dispensers The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a four-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for High Efficiency "HE" detergent, fabric softener, liquid chlorine bleach, and oxygen based stain fighters or color-safe bleach. The dispenser can easily be removed for cleaning. Laundry products are dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them and ensuring that these cleaning products perform their very best. 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 remove stains (such as blood and grass). Deep Clean with Steam This washer has a built-in steaming unit which is combined with the DEEP CLEAN option to provide multiple temperatures to help remove a variety of stains from garments. 6th SENSE™ Intuitive Controls Intuitive intelligence "knows every load" determining load sizes, water levels, and how much cleaning time is needed. Oxi / Color-safe Bleach Dispenser With the Oxi / Color-safe bleach dispenser, there is no need to come back and add your oxygen based stain fighter or your color-safe bleach. Delaying the introduction of these products helps remove many stains better. Clean Washer Cycle with Steam This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the washer and makes the washer self-cleaning, flushing the machine's interior free of dirt and other residue. The use of AFFRESH™ washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle will remove and help avoid odor-causing residue. Add A Garment When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add A Garment Status Light will glow for the first 4-8 minutes. This washer allows a 4-8 minute period in which other garments may be added to a load. Auto Water Level This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size. Direct Injection 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. Larger Load Size Because there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as a king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. Efficient Detergent System with Anti-Escape Valve 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. Stainless Steel Drum The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, helping to reduce drying time compared to traditional top-load washers. 6-Point Suspension System Shock absorbers, 2 springs, and electronic controls are specially designed to help redistribute the load automatically and minimize movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle. The 6-Point Suspension System reduces the amount of force transmitted to the floor by the washer, resulting in reduced noise and vibration. 10
