CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1
WATER LEVEL
1
Set the Water Level knob to an Auto Sensing setting
and the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load
engages the agitator. From this point, the electronic
control will sense the load and determine if additional
water is needed.
Set the Water Level knob to a Deep Water Wash setting
and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
NOTES:
Cycle times will be longer due to extended fill times
■
when using the Deep Water Wash setting.
Deep Water Wash settings are not available in the
■
Normal Regular cycle mode. Selecting the Normal
Regular cycle with a Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
WASH TEMPERATURE
2
Wash Temperature 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.
NOTES:
On some models and cycles, warm and hot water
■
may be cooler than your previous washer.
Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm
■
water may be added to the washer to maintain a
minimum temperature. All rinses are cold.

to cancel a cycle.
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 your previous washer.
SENSING/FILL
When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
and the Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the
washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load
size and balance.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the
appropriate level for the detected load size and then
begin the wash phase of the cycle.
NOTE: Sensing and wash phases will be paused by
opening the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume the
cycle. If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes,
the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the
water. The lid will lock after the wash phase to begin
the initial spinout and remain locked for the remainder
of the cycle.
