Antimicrobial Protection

Uses antimicrobial technology to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Keeps high-touch areas cleaner, as well as the drum and detergent tray smelling fresher.

Bulk Dispenser

Internal reservoir contains a multi-day supply of detergent or softener and automatically dispenses them during the wash cycle. Saves time and effort filling the trays for each load.

Deep Fill

Allows you to over-ride the auto-fill level and add extra water to the wash drum. Ensures heavily soiled or large loads of laundry are saturated before the wash cycle begins.

Delay Start - End

Program the wash cycle to start or end several hours later when you wake up or arrive home. Organize laundry around your schedule, or take advantage of lower, off-peak, utility rates.

ENERGY STAR

This washing machine is not Energy Star certified by the EPA. It uses significantly more energy and water than most new clothes washers being produced today.

Fresh Tumble

After the wash cycle ends, the clothes are periodically tumbled for several hours until you are available to unload them. Keeps clothes fresh and reduces wrinkles or musty odors.

High-Efficiency

Employ’s technology that reduces the amount of water and energy required for a load of laundry. Most front load washers, and top load without an agitator, are designated HE.

Some front load washers allow you to switch the door to open from either the left or right side. Provides installation flexibility and prevents the door from blocking the dryer.

Stainless Steel Drum

Steel wash baskets are more durable than washers with plastic or porcelain-enamel designs. Sustains higher spin speeds and won’t chip or rust.

Steam Option

Deeply penetrates clothing to remove grime and achieve a cleaner wash. Gentler on fabrics than other stain-removing cycles and produces a softening affect that reduces wrinkles.

Water Faucet

Water Heater
