BENEFITS AND FEATURESYour washer has several benefits and features that are summarized here. Some items may not apply to your model.Suspension SystemBenefitsAuto Water LevelThis washer senses the load size and composition through aseries of fills and wash motion. It then adjusts the water level forthe best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates theguesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.Care Control Temperature ManagementTo reduce washer “walk” and “out of balance” conditions, yournew washer combines: 4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration Balance ring at the top and bottom of the wash basket tominimize vibration Operating software designed to sense and correct offbalance loadsThe Care Control Temperature Management system on thiswasher electronically senses and maintains a uniform watertemperature by regulating incoming water temperatures. UsingCare Control will help dissolve detergent.Stainless Steel BasketDispensersSee-through Tempered Glass Lid with SolidHold LidHinge (on some models)The dispensers make your washer truly automatic. It isunnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle toadd detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.Laundry additives are added to the load at the proper time in thewash cycle.Deep Clean Cleaning ActionThe Deep Clean option uses Direct Inject Cleaning Action to helpensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean reduces theneed for pretreatment. Water flushes through the dispenser todissolve the detergent. The detergent mixture is then sprayedonto the load while the washer spins at low speed. This cleaningaction will last up to 10 minutes depending on the cycle selected.The washer then stops spinning, fills with water to theappropriate level and continues washing with the selected cycle.FeaturesYour new washer includes these features that help to reducenoise, increase the ease of use and improve wash performance.The stainless steel basket is corrosion resistant and enableshigher spin speeds for more water extraction than traditionaltop-load washers, reducing drying time.Some models feature the see-through glass lid.
