Load Size
SMART LOAD® Models
For models with knob/button Load Size, the SMART
LOAD® system allows them to adjust accurately the load
size of dry clothes to be washed (S, M, L).
AUTO LEVEL® Models
For models with the "Auto" option in the Load Size, you
must select such option to access the AUTO LEVEL®
system which will determine the water level automatically.
Once the cycle starts, your washer's door will be blocked
and the AUTO LEVEL ® routine starts, which consists of
tub spins combined in pauses, for at least one minute.
When the routine finishes your washer's door will be
unlocked and it had determined the required level of
water. Then it starts the washing cycle.
Recommendations:
● Add dry cloth for an optimal detection.
● Do not add more clothes once the AUTO LEVEL® routine
finishes since the washer already selected the water level to
be used.
