FEATURES AND

BENEFITS

SENSOR SMART TM Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Detergent Advantage System Dispenser

The four compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high performance cleaning. TIMED BLEACW M release 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. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

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.

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

•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 wool and delicate items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes load into a 1,200 rpm spin.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water and energy bills too.

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 six different spin speed choices.

Thermal Optimizer

The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites, Sanitary, and the Stain Treat option. It also provides "stepped cleaning" when using the sanitary cycle or the stain treat option. "Stepped cleaning" starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains (such as blood or grass). The water continues heating in order to remove stains such as dirty mechanical oil. During the sanitary cycle, the thermal optimizer can heat the water to temperatures that will destroy 99.999% of three common types of bacteria

found in soiled laundry.

Add A Garment

When lighted, Express Wash, Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites, and Sanitary can be paused and the door unlocked so you can add a garment that may have been forgotten when loading the washer. The ADD A GARMENT status light will stay lit for the first 8 minutes of a cycle.

CATALYST _ Cleaning Action with Direct Injection

A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing stains from your clothes without pretreating.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach spin speeds of 1,200 rpm. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the

Dynamic Balance system detects off balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.
