FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Woolmark

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

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.
