Peekaboo Mode
The Peekaboo mode allows the user the opportunity to look into the washer during a wash action. During the Peekaboo Mode, the electronic control will allow the machine to nutate at 150 NPM for a maximum of
NUTATION
The Calypso washer achieves a significant en- ergy savings by utilizing less water than a tradi- tional top loading machine with an agitator. This is made possible by the use of a Wash Plate which provides an undulating motion to toss the wash load. This action is called nutation.
The wash plate is tipped at approximately 35 de- grees from level. The undulating action constantly rolls the load over and moving in a circular mo- tion.
The water in the basket is constantly recirculated and sprayed onto the wash load during wash and rinse cycles.

LEVELER
Nutate Action
The leveler acts as the mechanism that tilts the nutate or outer wash plate from a level to a 35 degree tilted position. The leveler is driven by the nutate shaft which replaces the traditional agitator shaft. A shifting mechanism on the underside of the leveler moves it from a perpendicular alignment in the spin mode to the 35 degree tilt required for nutation.
