CYCLE

KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your

washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.

See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions

of cycles.

CYCLE

OPTIONS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up. Not

all cycles and options are available on all models.

TEMP

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

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. Lighter

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.

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.

EXTRA RINSE

This option can be used to automatically

add a second rinse

to most cycles.

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.

CYCLE

STATUS

LIGHTS

INDICATOR

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle.

At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds

or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

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, then 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 into

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 portion

of the cycle. This is normal.

You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.

Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with

water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated

cleaning.

Rather than diluting detergent, as done in an agitator-style

washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the

soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages

in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected

soil level.

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the

washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the

motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket

while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric

Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray

rinsing.
