FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by
Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark
products provided that the products are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. M0301.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Smart Dispensers
The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This
washer provides a four-compartment dispenser which includes
separate compartments for main wash detergent, fabric softener,
bleach, and auto prewash or auto soak. The dispenser has large
pour zones, is self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. Laundry
products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the
proper time in the wash cycle.
Auto Water Level
This washer automatically adjusts water level for best 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.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like a
king-sized 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, reducing drying time.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, and lowers your water and energy bills by
helping conserve resources.
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 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.
ACCUWASH™ Automatic Tremperature Control
The ACCUWASH™ control electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ACCUWASH control regulates
incoming hot and cold water. ACCUWASH control is
automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.
Add A Garment
At the beginning of the Sanitary, Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty,
Normal and Quick Wash cycles, this washer allows an 8-minute
period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load. The
ADD A GARMENT status light will glow during this 8-minute
period.
CATALYST ® Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers
to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the additives
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.
Efficient Detergent System
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.
Dynamic Off-Balance Detection
This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount
of off-balance within the load. The suspension system and
controls are specially designed to redistribute the load
automatically.
