Whirlpool W10235934A manual Features and Benefits

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer.

Add A Garment

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 A Garment status light will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.

Electronic Controls

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

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. You can obtain the same washing results for small and large load sizes.

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 delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high- speed spin.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.

Heating Element

This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the water to the best 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. The warm water cleans stains such as blood and eggs, and the heated water removes oily stains such as perspiration and dirty mechanical oil. This heater is active in the Sanitary, Whitest Whites, and Heavy Duty cycles, and in the Stain Treat option.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high- speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off- balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.

Smart Dispensers

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the washer is started. The products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high- performance cleaning. The bleach release system 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 or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
