Electrolux 700 Series 4.5 cu. ft. Front Load Washer with SmartBoost and Cold Sanitize – Matte White

• SmartBoost® Premix Technology: Premixes water and detergent before the wash cycle begins, amplifying cleaning power for the most effective stain removal — even in cold water — for better care of your fabrics.
• Cold Wash Optimization: Designed to perform at its best in cold water, with Cold Wash and Cold Sanitize settings that save energy and water while delivering full cleaning and sanitization performance.
• Optic Whites™ Cycle: Prevents the redeposit of dirt and residues that dull white fabrics over time, keeping whites brighter and cleaner than a standard cycle with bleach — without the harshness.
• Pure Rinse™: Rinses cleaner than a standard extra rinse cycle without using more water, removing detergent residues and fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin.
• LuxCare® Plus Wash System: A thorough, intelligent cleaning system that combines precise detergent distribution, optimized wash actions, smart temperature control, and load sensing for a superior clean every time.
• StainSoak™: Premixes water, detergent, and stain remover before the cycle begins, then adjusts temperature, tumbling action, and time based on the specific stain type — eliminating the need for pre-treating.
• Perfect Steam™: Rises from the bottom of the drum to gently lift dirt and stains from deep within fabric fibers, delivering whiter whites, better stain removal, and fewer wrinkles.
• Two Ways to Sanitize: Choose Cold Sanitize with Lysol® Laundry Sanitizer to kill 99% of bacteria in cold water, or use the NSF-certified hot sanitize setting for the highest level of germ elimination.
• Care Meter: Displays 1, 2, or 3 leaf indicators based on cycle selection to help guide you toward energy- and water-saving choices for every load.
• Magnetic Door Prop: Keeps the washer door slightly ajar between uses, allowing the drum and gasket to fully dry and significantly reducing the risk of odor and mildew buildup.

Q1: What makes SmartBoost® different from a standard detergent dispenser?
A: Unlike a standard dispenser that releases detergent directly into the drum during the cycle, SmartBoost® premixes water and detergent before the wash begins — creating a more concentrated cleaning solution that penetrates fabric fibers more effectively. This improves stain removal and cleaning performance, especially in cold water.

Q2: How does Cold Sanitize work, and how effective is it?
A: Cold Sanitize pairs the cold water wash cycle with Lysol® Laundry Sanitizer to remove 99% of bacteria from fabrics without using hot water. This is ideal for delicate items that cannot withstand heat sanitization, or for conserving energy while still achieving a thorough sanitize.

Q3: What is StainSoak™ and how does it work?
A: StainSoak™ is an automated pre-treat system that premixes water, detergent, and stain remover before the cycle even starts, then adjusts the wash temperature, tumbling intensity, and duration based on the specific stain type you select. This eliminates the need to pre-treat stains manually and delivers a more targeted clean.

Q4: How does the Care Meter help with sustainability?
A: The Care Meter displays leaf indicators (1, 2, or 3 leaves) alongside each cycle selection to visually communicate the relative water and energy consumption of that cycle. It helps guide users toward more sustainable cycle choices without sacrificing cleaning performance.

Q5: Why does the washer have a magnetic door prop?
A: The magnetic door prop allows the washer door to stay slightly open between wash cycles, promoting airflow inside the drum and allowing the rubber door gasket to dry completely. This significantly reduces the risk of moisture buildup, mold, mildew, and odors — a common issue with front load washers.
