TEMP LEVEL
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water
safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
For most loads, use the Soil Level that is preset with
the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select more wash time,
if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
SOIL LEVEL to select less wash time, if needed. Lower
Soil Level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default options will light up.
NOTE: Not all cycles, options, and modifiers are available
on all models.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
BUTTON SOUNDS:
Press and hold EXTRA RINSE for 3 seconds to turn the
button sounds on or off.
FABRIC SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Not all
options can be used with all cycles, and some are preset to
work with certain cycles.
O
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR

each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses
that are different from traditional washers.

SENSING
When the Start/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will
use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These
sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is
added to the load and you may hear the hum of these
spins. If the sensing light is on, the washer is working
properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket in short
pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer will then
move the load briefly, pause to allow water to soak in to
the load, and resume adding water. This process may
repeat until the correct amount of water has been added
for the load. You may also hear water flowing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portions
of the cycle. This is normal.
