Features and Benefits

Audio Visual Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert. Green lights indicate a selected cycle, option, or modifier. If a cycle or option uses STEAMCARE™, the light will be blue instead to indicate that steam will be used during the cycle. Amber lights are used to indicate modifier settings that are available for the selected cycle. If a specific modifier setting is not available, the light will not be illuminated. Different tones are also used to make selecting options and modifiers easier.

Detergent Advantage System Dispenser

The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for High Efficiency “HE” detergent, fabric softener, and liquid chlorine 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.

STEAM TREAT™

This washer has a built-in steaming unit which is combined with the STEAM TREAT™ option to provide multiple temperatures to help remove a variety of stains from garments.

Clean Washer cycle with STEAMCARE™

This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the unit and makes the washer self-cleaning, flushing the machine's interior free of dirt and other residue. The use of liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle, will remove and avoid odor-causing residue.

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.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping bag, pillow or a king size bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.

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, helping to reduce drying time.

High-Efficiency Wash System

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

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects a spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however, with up to 5 different spin speed choices.

Thermal Optimizer with Smart Wash Technology

The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites and the STEAM TREAT™ option. It also provides Smart Wash Technology with “Stepped Cleaning” when you are using the STEAM TREAT™ option. “Stepped Cleaning” starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains.

Add Clothes

This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin, Drain/Spin and Clean Washer. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add Clothes status light will illuminate for the first 4-8 minutes. This washer allows a 4-8 minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.

CATALYST® Cleaning Action

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, helping to remove stains from your clothes without pretreating.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach spin speeds of up to 1,050 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.
