CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

1
SOIL LEVEL
1
Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily soiled
and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy soil level for more wash time.
For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light soil level
for less wash time. A lighter soil level setting will help reduce
tangling and wrinkling.
WASH TEMP
2
Wash Temp 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, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric, as specifi ed by the garment label
instructions.
• 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.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
3
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
RINSE OPTION
4
The following options may be added to most cycles.
See "Cycle Guide" for additional details.
1 RINSE
This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.
2 RINSES
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to all wash cycles.
1 RINSE WITH 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.
2 RINSES WITH FABRIC SOFTENER
This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the
2 Rinses option.

WATER LEVEL
5
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the
washer will automatically sense the appropriate water level for
the load size and type.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and
the washer will automatically add more water to any cycle at any
time during the wash process.
NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended fi ll times
when using the Deep Water Wash option.
START/PAUSE/CANCEL BUTTON
6
Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid. Close the lid and press to restart
the cycle. Press and hold to cancel a cycle and pump out
the washer.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes
to unlock the lid.
PROGRESS LIGHTS
7
The Progress 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/Cancel button is pressed and the
Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the washer will
fi ll and begin sensing to determine load size and balance.
A short but noticeable pause in the cycle action occurs
during sensing. This is normal.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fi ll to the
appropriate level for the detected load size and, on select
cycles, agitation will occur during fi lling. This, too, is normal.
When the washer is done fi lling, it will begin the wash phase
of the cycle. To ensure that the most accurate load size is
detected, avoid opening the lid during the "Sensing" phase.
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.
