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.

Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach
spin speeds of up to 1,300 rpm. The washer spins faster so that
clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the
Dynamic Balance system detects off-balance loads during
spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly
balanced.
