-- NOTES --

CATALYST CLEANING™ uses laundry detergent in a unique way. Water flushes the detergent from

the dispenser to dissolve the detergent. Then the concentrated detergent mixture is sprayed on to the

load while the washer spins at low speed.

CATALYST CLEANING™ will last one to five minutes, depending on the cycle selected. The washer

then stops spinning and fills to the selected water level and continues washing with the selected cycle.

Section One

FEATURES

atalyst Cleaning™

CATALYST CLEANING™ allows detergent to soak and penetrate the

entire load giving improved stain and soil removal.

BLEACHVENTURI

TUBRING

The bleach venturi causes a siphoning action to

draw bleach from the bleach dispenser. Water

passing across the venturi opening creates a low

pressureareabehindtheventuripullingthebleach

into the passing water flow.

The Out of Balance Switch controls the motor operation during the Catalyst Cleaning portion of the

cycle,as wellas duringthe spin. If an out of balance condition occurs during Catalyst Clean, the motor

circuit is interrupted. The motor will stop momentarily to allow the load to settle, then restart. If the Out

of Balance Switch is actuated four times, the Electronic Control will skip the Catalyst Clean cycle and

jump to the wash increment.

If an out of balance condition occurs during spin,

the motor circuit will again be interrupted

momentarily to allow the load to settle. If the Out

of Balance switch is actuated four times during

the spin cycle, the cycle will stop and the control

will display “OB”.

Thewater level transducer islocated at theleft end ofthe console area andis used toregulate the level

of wash and rinse water in the tub. The electronic pressure transducer converts air pressure created

in the pressure dome to a low voltage square wave signal. The microcomputer on the control board

reads the signal directly. The microcomputer then translates the frequency into inches of water. This

is then compared to the setting selected by the user during the wash cycle.

The transducer also contains a mechanical overfill switch in the same transducer body. This operates

the same as the standard pressure switch. The overfill operates (opens) when the water level in the

tub is beyond the standard high fill level (flood level).

BALANCERING

The Balance Ring is a special dual chambered ring with the traditional water ballast in the top chamber

and an oil charge with steel balls in the lower chamber. The additional ballast is required to counteract

the clothing load during the Catalyst Cleaning mode.

The ring is attached to the spin basket and is not available as a separate component.

The oil chamber contains approximately 320 cc of oil and should be treated as any other oil when

disposal becomes necessary.

Bleach, Detergent and Fabric Softener dispensers are provided to allow the consumer to load the

laundry additives with the clothing load. The dispensers allow the additives to be introduced to the

laundry load at the proper time in the cycle.

A diverter is molded into the tub ring to push the dry clothing into the basket during the Catalyst Clean-

ing portion of the cycle.
