Features And Benefits - Maytag EPIC z Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to help conserve resources and
lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the
amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for
this new system than for a conventional washer.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.
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. You can obtain the same washing results for small and
large loads size.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping
bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can
wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
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, helping to reduce drying time.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give the optimum cleaning,
rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items
and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-speed spin.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

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 three different spin speed choices.
Thermal Optimizer
The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the preset temperature for Super
Wash, Whites, and Sanitary cycles. It also provides "Stepped Cleaning" when using the
Sanitary cycle. "Stepped Cleaning" starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains
(such as blood or grass). The Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.9% of K. pneumonia, P.
aureginosa and S. aureus, which are three common infectious bacteria.
Add A Garment
This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse & Spin, Spin Only and Clean Washer.
When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add A Garment status light
will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which other
garments may be added to a load.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach high-speed spins. The washer
spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with
traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off-balance
loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.
Detergent Advantage System Dispenser
The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the
washer is started. The products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-
performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included in the detergent advantage
system. The detergent is added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the
enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is dispensed in the rinse
cycle or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray can
be easily removed for cleaning.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
